Linda, Becky & Family,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Ruth has been a part of my life for over 30 years. She was a wonderful friend and a very caring individual. I was so glad to be able to spend time with her this spring and summer at Traditions. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I knew Ruth when I worked at First National in the Pension & Trust Department. It was my first job, I was so young and scared. She took me under her wing, taught me everything I needed to know about working for a big company. Mostly, she was my friend, she made me laugh and I remember we used to share Pop Tarts on our coffee breaks. For the longest time, we craved Pop Tarts!
May she rest in peace. May God bless all of you mourning her passing.
Peace be with you.

Aunt Jane was a big influence and help to Jack in his childhood. Later after we were married these memories became even more special. She was a gracious lady and will be missed by all her family and friends. She is at peace now. Rebecca and Linda have been in our daily thoughts and prayers even though we are many miles apart. Our sympathy extends to her sister, Alice (Jack's Mom) and her brother Earl and his wife Evelyn. We hope everyone finds some peace and comfort now that her struggle is over. Respectfully, Lillian

Aunt Jane,
You were such a good Aunt. When I was little I loved spending the summer days with you and Uncle Danny. I have nothing but wonderful memories of you.

I have only known Jane for five years, through my marriage to her nephew Ed McCafferty, her sister Alice's son. I found her to be a very funny person. I enjoyed her humor. From what I have learned from Ed, she lived a full life, worked up to a few years ago, and had many, many friends and family who loved her very much. Aunt Jane, may you rest in peace, out of pain, and in heaven with a new healthy body in the presence of Jesus. We will see you again someday.

My grandmother loved anyone that ever stepped into her life. She lived a long and fullfilling life and helped everyone in every way. I will cherish all the memories that I have ever had with her
