To the family:
So sorry we were unable to get to the funeral service.
We were neighbors of Edgar & Ruth at 837 Main Street in Slatington for a time and they both were very kind to us and our children.
We were sad to learn that her daughter, Doris, had passed away before her.
We exchanged Christmas cards and Ruth has been in touch with us for many years since we moved to Cherryville in 1962.
She lived a long life and will be remembered.
Our heartfelt sympathy to all.
