My thoughts are with you - I knew Ruth through Steve and Mary, she volunteered her time helping us in our children's classroom for the Maren Fund. I loved her gentleness and willingness to help us when needed. She has left a hole in the hearts of many and will be missed. Lifting you all up in prayer.

be missed by many. Deepest Sympathy to Ruth's family.
