Dr. Nagy, Dave and Abby, Bill & Barb, So sorry to hear about Mrs. Nagy. Jackie Cooper had told me she was sick. I really hated to hear this news. She was a kind, fun loving great lady. I still remember, to this day, her making fun of me for pouring Ketchup on the wonderful lobster she had prepared for all of us. Take care and get in touch with me. Rick Emmert

Bill and your daughter Barbara, sons Bill and David, and the rest of your family,
We cannot begin to express properly our regrets for the passing of a very dear friend for so many years. Ruth was a one in a million person whom we loved dearly. She fought a great battle but against overwhelming odds. She will be missed by us all, but the many memories of her, of the numerous activities we shared, her smiles, and so positive outlook on life will last through our dying days.
Alice and Cal Immel, Naples
