Ruth is no longer with us she is with our Lord and the rest of our loved ones no more pain no more suffering. I remember when she was a child took 2 nurses to give her a shot she never liked needles still don't. I remember when ruth Richard Terry and Gene would sneak out at night.they would also go down in mom's cellar where she kept her canned foods and eat stuff mom caught them and laughed. Ruth raised John's daughter and her son til he was six.in grade school she was in girl scouts and I still have the pin.Ruth is missed and lovedlove you baby

Hello sister, just wanted you to know you are not out of my heart just because you are out of my sight. I really miss you, our nightly talks on phone, listening to all your stories about you and Randy. You know it isn't about what you have in your life but WHO you have that matters. I'm so lucky God chose you to be one of my sisters . And I pray we will meet again one day, but till then remember, I love you more than you know.
