What an emptiness in our hearts. Memories of this wonderful Lady will never be forgotten. She was so gracious on the visits I had to N.J. Treating me and my faimilylike Royalty. The Lord has called for such a true Angel and I am so sure she will continue to watch over us. Love and Prayers to her Familey.. Ronnie

A few years ago we went to West Virginia to visit our daughter, Leslie and stopped in New Jersey to visit Ruth. Being from Montana and never been east of the Mississippi, I was scared to go as we were told not to leave the car in New Jersey cause we'd miss our tires! Well, that was quite an enlightening trip! What we found was hospitality, friendship, and some very caring people. I will miss the phone calls from Ruth, her strong welcoming voice with a hint of eastern brogue (that she denied). I am blessed to have know such a wonderfuld woman!
