I am so very sorry of her sudden passing. She had so much life. Few things in this world are more powerful than a dear friends, positivity, smile, kind words, bubbliness, ears to listen as Ruth possessed these and much more. We had gone to numerous single gathering over the years together and we made many more friends. She was always a joy to be with, she spread happiness with her uplifting personality. Even after not seeing each other few years in between we would pickup right where we left off. I remember helping her with yard sales and her vast knowledge of dealing with people and value of items. What I have today is a hometown milk bottle, Haywards Dairy, she gave me that I hold dear. She saw how enthralled I was with such a long ago memory. Remembering when we had deliveries to our homes, a piece of the past. I will so miss her. May God hold her in His home, carry her family and friends as we weep but yet celebrate her life. Blessings, Debra
