Dear Gladys and family: On Wednesday, May 6th I visited Ruth and took her a small flower arrangement from the Garden Group of the Mattapoiwsett Woman's Club. She was delighted with the visit and the flowers. She talked of her cottage and Mattapoisett. So sorry for the loss of her. She will be missed.
