Not sure what to say?

I still miss her everyday. She made a huge impression on my life and I will forever be grateful.

Ruth was such a lovely person. She will always be remembered by those who knew her.

Hello. My name is Catharine Unger, and I attended grade school with Michelle. I was sorry to read of your mom´s passing.

Ruth was one of my favorite people on the planet. Always positive, smiling and upbeat. I loved her positive energy. She was my P.E.O. Mentor when I was Chapter AK´s President and she was my treasurer. We talked so frequently that she would call and ask "Did you miss my voice?" I will always miss her voice, but can hear it in my heart and my memories. She was a treasure and a blessing to the world.

Ruth and I were classmates at Corvallis High School, graduating in 1958. I was fortunate to work with Ruth on our 65th reunion committee. It was a great reunion and we're all thankful Ruth could be with us. She looked beautiful ... little did I know she would leave this world 5 months later. My condolences to the family and her many friends.

Dear Ruth, my dear friend I love and miss you. Our friendship was, is and will be always STRONG and FOREVER. I will treasure all our adventures and heart to heart talks forever. Ride your bike and play your piano on God´s golden streets in your long flowing white gown!! Deep condolences to all your family. Love you Joy Cundiff

The quote "Grief is just love with no place to go" applies here. I´ll miss you, Ruth. I had no idea that first day, where our relationship would go. I´m fortunate to have known you and I´ll remember our time with gratitude.

Ruth´s friendship was a treasure. What a wonderful sister in Jesus.
