My condolences to you and your family Steve and Emilee. Not sure you remember me but I'm Jerry and Maryann Smiths daughter Karen. Knew you from baseball at the VFW in New Berlin.

Deepest condolences to the family, but fondest sympathy for Cal, Steve, Sandy, Donna, Scott, Diane and Kathy. Ruth and all the Kelly clan warmly invited me to family events and treated me as their own through many years, indeed, I grew up with you. It has been a life's treasure knowing Ruth and all the Kellys.

With much love.

Aunt Ruth was as nice and kind and loving of an aunt as anyone could have. So sorry for the whole Bruss family's loss particularily Uncle Cal. I will miss her so much too but am so encouraged she is rejoicing in the presence of the Lord.
