Yesterday

Ruth: A rare and precious gem. So beautiful with a smile to outshine any star. Supermom and Grandmom. Extremely generous warm heart. She even made me a skating skirt when I would go with Janey to the rink. So supportive of her girls' interests and a wonderful wife. She handled the most difficult of life's times so strongly and celebrated all the good times with such enthusiasm. Just remember her for all she did to bring joy into your world. Bless her soul
