Read MoreRest in peace Ruth. I hope that you are beside your beloved Bernard in Scotland. Ruth was my mother's best life long friend. They were both born in 1918. I regarded Ruth as part of my family and will miss her so much. She gave so much to the world and definitely made it a better place.

Ruth was always a very gracious hostess and an excellent cook! I first met her in the 1980s & we kept in touch by phone even after I moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan in 2010. I last spoke to her on April 17th when she thanked me for the flowers I'd sent..I shall miss our chats. Rest in peace dear Ruth.
