Deepest sympathy to family of Ruth Russell. Your mom was an early friend to my mom Jeanne at Countryside. She called me a number of times when mom was hospitalized to "check up" on her. I appreciated her follow ups. After a bit, Ruth joined a Bible study that I led 2x month - we had some chuckles, learned about scripture, but most importantly encouraged each other, hugged each other and sympathized with each other. Our group will greatly miss her - I will miss her tidbits of caring wisdom. It has made me a better daughter, mom, and grandmom. Hugs to your families.
