I always called Ruth "Ruthie." She is such a loving, caring, and precious woman. I know she is with my mom (playing bingo!) who passed away 4 months ago. She was part of the Ponder Creek Community as well. I will dearly miss her loving smile and hugs as I visit Ponder Creek. May her memories live on.

You are in my prayers. Your mom was a special lady. Just think of the look of joy on her face when she saw your dad again :)
