Aunty Ruth you've deposit a lifetime of memories for family, friends and whomever you touched a loving rare seed was planted.

Still we're moving forward without your physical presence, dreams and imaginations are worthy just to see you, hear your voice and sometimes feel you spiritually.

The laughs will never stop, especially when something goes on in our lives, television shows/programs and the news many of us can rely on how you'll react to any and all situations.

Online is other way of sharing the joys and pain when someone you deeply and sincerely unconditional love & miss!

Let the others know it's forevermore love, unity and great memories.
