I worked with Ruth at Alton High School for several years. Nichole will probably remember me because she visited with her grandmother my home at 6705 Humbert Road. My prayers are with your family during this time of parting with your dear one. Be encouraged by knowing that Ruth is in your future. We who remain will be reunited with our loved ones in Heaven. May the God of all peace comfort your hearts today.
A friend,
