RUTH DOBRUSHIN

Aunt Ruthie...I miss your wonderful hugs and cheery personality. I fondly remember all your visits to my Mom's. I even recall coming to visit you and Uncle Normie when me and my sisters were little girls (loved playing with Pokey!!) I will miss YOU!!

My deepest sympathies to you Howie and Irwin and your families on the loss of a great lady.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

Ruthie.....I love you and I miss you. Even though I met you as part of my profession, I grieve too. You were amazing to me, and its hard believing that youre gone.

Will I really never see you walk down the hallway again? You gave the best hugs, and youre smile turned a bad day into an incredibly good one.

I caught myself crying the other day. I keep hearing that death is something that I will get use too. It's a common part of my job, but your absence doesn't hurt any less.

I keep thinking about the nights that we'd panic because you wandered off, only to find you in another residents room spreading your grace or cheer...Or how you'd sit behind the nurses station and answer the phone just incase one of us didn't get close to it quick enough.(shhhh that could get us in trouble)

You were a true God send, and I'm having a hard time making sense of this and finding solace.

I went and seen Audrey last night. She really misses you. The nurses gave her one of your stuffed animals, and it now stays in her bed.

I have to stay off of 5 for a while. Each time I go down there, I find my face flooding with tears.

Again I love you and I miss you. I will see you when I get there...please greet me with your beautiful smile when I cross the gates of heaven.

Dear Howie, Irwin and your families,
I want to express my condolences to you during this difficult time. I truly loved Aunt Ruthie and have very fond memories of her. I will ALWAYS remember her hugs!! All my love...

Dear Dobrushin Family,
Our thoughts are with you at this time. We will always remember Ruth's beautiful smile. It always lit up the room.
