Thank you Alden and Lynn for putting Ruth's obituary in the Oregonian and also for putting Ester's obituary in earlier.
Ruth was a good friend and when needed, helped. She took care of Kristen (about 3 years old) when I had surgery. Ruth enjoyed being a temporary mother to a little girl and I much appreciated her help.
My best to you and your family. I am unable to attend the graveside service but will be thinking of you.
