Have had Ruth on my mind so am shocked to learn of her passing. We worked night shift for a long time at a nursing home. She was a good worker and a sweet person who loved her family. I will keep sweet memories of our work days together. God bless her memory!

I will always love and miss you, Ruthie.
I can never thank you enough for being there for me when I desperately needed a mother with a big heart. I was blessed to have you in my life for a short time but even more blessed to have you in my heart forever. Until we met again someday, keep the place up there hoping. Love always. April
