I met Ruth several years ago and every time I saw her, she had a smile on her face and love in her heart. She was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met and I will never forget her. My sincere sympathy to her family, my prayers are with you. Ruth, sweetheart you are now a beautiful Angel. Please give my precious daughter a hug for me. I am so sad you both had to leave, but Heaven now has two more beloved Angels. Love Diana

Susan Scott & Family of Ruth,

I wanted to send along my deepest sympathy to you and your family in the passing of your mother. I've only recently meet you at our work place but I know so much how you are feeling with the passing of your mom. The loss of both my parents recently is still fresh with me and so I wanted to express to you and your family my sympathy.

I will always remember Ruth's kindness and her love of laughter. She was always so thoughtful of others and I have many happy memories of visiting at Uncle Si's farm in Peoria (now Wardcliffe). Ruth always welcomed her younger cousin warmly.

To Heidi, George and the rest of your family-

I will always remember Mrs Huthmann (I don't think I could ever called her anything different!) as a kind and gentle sweetheart. I fondly remember so many rides to school and fun times at your house in Morton.

I am sad for your loss, but am thankful for her love for the Lord and know that she is content and happy with Him now.

Sarah
