I am so sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. I was shocked to hear that today. Makes me so sad and I feel so much sympathy for her family. I know family meant everything to Ruth. Lol then I start remembering all the silly times we had at work. So many memories to be cherished. I know she will be so happy to be reunited with her Dad and will no doubt be very busy watching over her family and friends.
