Not sure what to say?

Mom, as I always knew her is & was always in my heart.

Condolences from Westerville Police Records Department, friends of Sue Workman

My heartfelt sympathy to all of Ruth's family. I knew both Ruth and Chester, and also Helen Summers (Ruth's mother) from our days at Bellow's Ave. Nazarene Church. She left a lasting memory of her love for Christ to all who knew her.
God Bless All of You!

Mom was one of the most wonderful people I have ever known. I have been so blessed to have her for my Mother-In-Law. She will be dearly missed.
