I just wish to extend my deepest condolances to Ruth's family. I never got the privilege to get to know her better. She was my mother's aunt, and my gret aunt. I do remember meeting her when I was really young. I have always heard great things about her and I will honor her memory.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Ruth's family and friends. I loved talking to Aunt Ruth several times recently and admired her for always keeping in touch both by note cards and email. She was a wonderful lady and I will miss her deeply.

Tip,
I have so many wonderful memories of Ruth, playing golf with her at Sunset Valley, sharing many bridge games and lunches with Ruth and friends. You and Ruth were great hosts when we stayed with you at your Florida condo. We will miss her. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

I taught with Ruth at Lewis and Clark and latter worked at Pacific Springs. I always enjoyed visiting with her when she was out walking the course near her Patio Home. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Your Mother was such a wonderful friend to mine.. I will always be grateful for all that she did for my Mom. I know that both of them are up in Heaven sipping on coffee and talking away.
Thinking of all of you,
