I will always remember the beautiful platter of Christmas cookies she would make and Jim would bring into the office. My deepest sympathy, Jim and family.

It has been so long since I left Clarkston but some people always come to mind. Ruth was so active at Clarkston Jr. High for all the years their children attended. My condolences to all the family. Ruth will be missed by all.

Ruth was such a wonderful parent, friend. Five of the children were in my kindergarten classes. Ruth was always ready to help in any way. I got her yearly Christmas letters so I could keep up with the now adults. What a loss for family and friends.
