To Ruth's Family,
I'm sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. My mom and dad always spoke highly of Ruth and your dad Jack and I hadn't seen her for many years but talked to her when she called about her insurance.

Gram,
Your feisty spirit and uncanny ability to say what everyone was thinking will be sorely missed. You were so sassy and strong. Those character traits live on in your grand daughters and great-grand daughters. I'm so proud of and inspired by your accomplishments and unwavering strength.
Thank you for playing the piano and singing with me. Thank you for letting me try on all of your jewelry. Thank you for letting me drive the boat, feed the ducks and have an extra cookie. Thank you for blaring the Ohio State fight song to wake me up int he morning when I stayed at your house. Thank you for being such a wonderful grandmother and leaving me with such vivid memories of a wonderful childhood. I love you to the moon. - Melissa
