Jack,
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I only met Ruth once at my apartment with you, Barbara and Jerry, Ted and Lela.
We had a delightful dinner at Luciano's and it was an evening I will always remember. Ruth was a true treasure.
God Bless,

Jack,
Cindy and I have you and Ruth in our hearts. Ruth was a special person and we count ourselves lucky to have known her at all. We know she is at peace now with God and heaven is a brighter place because of her. You are one of the heros in my life and I know you will find your way through this difficult time.
With love, Rick and Cindy

Ruth was a warm, loving, caring mother in law and was so good to me through the years! She was a wonderful grandmother to my 2 daughters Hayley and Jenna. We are all heartbroken and will miss her so much!
