Mark and family, Some of us at the CB store 84 in Merrillville just recently learned that Miss Ruth passed away. We were so surprised because we had not heard about it back in Feb. and apologize for not coming, but we didn't know. Many of us that knew Miss Ruthie (as we called her) just loved her to pieces. She was such a "hoot" to be with . . . we enjoyed sharing coffee or breakfast with her for many years. We were sad to hear the news and will certainly miss her. She was a wonderful woman. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Aunt Ruth...so many memories. She had a good heart like both of my aunts. May she find my mother Betty Lloyd, her sister, as they rest in a better place.
