Barry, Lisa, Kimmy & Melanie,
I was saddened to hear about Ruthie. She was such a wonderful person to have as part of our family. She always had a smile whenever she was present. She will be missed dearly. You were all very lucky to have her as a mother, mother-in-law and a grandmother. Be strong for one another and always keep the happy times w/her in your thoughts. Please extend our sympathy to the rest of the family. Love, Cousin Jodi & Jim
