Ruthie was my sister in law , but more like a sister, we talked about everything, had such a great time sitting on the porch at the beach house , one story that sums up Ruthie is this , she was staying at our house and my daughter was coming to visit , my granddaughters were coming as they had a day off school, Ruthie was feeling very sick at the time . When she found out the girls were coming she sat up in her bed with a big smile and said "Oh Jan , the girls are off and you will get to see them today when Suz comes." A dying woman and all she could think of was me ,not herself, me . When Ruthie loved , she loved , I will miss you Ruthie Rest In Peace , Love Jan
