Not sure what to say?

Miss Ruth, as I called her, was such a sweet and kind lady. No matter how many years it had been since she last saw me, she always made feel like she was genuinely happy to see me.

My condolences go out to the family, loved ones, friends and all those who know and love her. She is now reunited with her beloved husband.

Be strong in the Lord, and He will see through this storm. God bless you.

Cousin Ruth was my most direct connection in this era to her father and his siblings [one of whom was my grandfather] because she delighted in sharing with me her stories of the Waldens who left Fauquier County, VA, to make their way in the world. She also cared deeply for family and made a point to stay in touch with me and--thru me--with my branch of the Walden family tree.
