RUTH WAS A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE FOR MANY YEARS. WE WERE SHOPPING BUDDIES, COFFEE CLUB PARTICIPANTS AND TRAVEL COMPANIONS WHEN SHE, TOMMY AND LEW AND I WENT TO HAWAII. BOY DID WE HAVE FUN. WHEN WE WENT SHOPPING , SHE WAS ALWAYS DRESSED TO THE NINES. I WAS MUCH MORE CASUAL. I TOLD HER THJAT EVERYONE WOULD THINK I WAS HER MAID! WE TALKED ON THE PHONE DAILY UNTIL SHE MOVED AND I LOST TRACK OF HER. I. REALLY MISSED HER GOD BLESS HER FAMILY!
