I just found out about my dear Ruth. My heart is so sad for me and, of course, for the family, but I rejoice in knowing that dear Ruth has now joined the Angel's choir and is singing for the Master.
What a caring, wonderful person she was. I will always have those memories of the days we spent together and how much care she gave to her patients.
Love and prayers to ALL the family. joyce
