Dear Vicky and Beth , My mother and I wanted to express our sympathy to you and your family at the loss of your mother / You never know what a moment is with someone until it becomes a memory . Between my mother and your mother they had the cleanest part of Jefferson St. / I remember it when Hyde Park was still a nice place to live / It was nice to see you at Redners a few weeks ago / Your a very nice person. Again I wish you a smooth transition through this sad time. Sincerely - Terry and Sadie

My deepest sympathy on the passing of Ruth. I didn't remember her until she welcomed me to my new apartment. We sat and talked and she said where she retired from and I asked her if she knew my Mom, the biggest smile on her face oh yes...So she was my connection to my Mom which I lost in 2016. So you know I will always remember Ruth and how she made me feel talking about my Mom......R.I.P. Ruth you were a blessing here...
