Bill, Blain and the rest of the Wood Family. I am so deeply saddened to hear of Ruths Passing.

Bill, Blaine and Family-
My heart is with you at this time of sorrow. Ruthie was indeed one of a kind. She was my mentor in golf and tennis, but never allowed me to get better than herself! I will miss her smile, her funny accent and her sense of humor. Most of all I will miss her spirit, her lust for life. She was one of the strongest people I have ever known. I pray I can live up to her legacy.
With much love... Ernestine & Hank

Ruth was my Beta Sister in more ways then one we were friends as well she will be very missed. I know she is happy today and probably asking if she can play golf. My life is fuller today just by knowing and share the thing we have over these years I have known her. My prayer are with you her family.

Ruth was an inspiration to all that knew her. She was the first person I thought of when the Dr. told me I had cancer. God knows what he is doing by taking her home now and working for him. RIP Ruth and we love you.
