Tom, kids, and grandkids...our hearts ache for you at the idea of such a loss. We don't know your exact pain, but we know the pain of losing a wife, mom, and grandma like Ruth. She had a big personality that matched her big heart with a laugh that makes me even smile now through the tears. Our prayer is that in all of this you sense the comfort and peace of the One who made Ruth. We are praying for hearts that literally feel like they are breaking. Your family has been and always will have a special place in our hearts...Ed & Pam..all the kids and of course my Dad

Ruth, you greeted and accepted me as the new neighbor. Out Bunco times will never be forgotten. TO THE TOP! Just talking you would come up with the song to sing. How do we go on? You are with the Dear Lord now and I will see you again for the Great Bunco Game. Save me a seat. Love, Sandy
