Aunt Ruth was a distant relative of mine and I only got to see her when my family came down from Maine to go to the races for my brother - yet my memories of her smile and laugh remain very fresh even today. My sympathies to the entire family, as my thoughts are with you.

Wayne, Glenn and their families, Bill and to all the Dilling family
Ruth was truly a very special person and now it's heaven's turn to enjoy her like we all did. I only hope the angel's can keep her out of the kitchen, and if not, can put up with her putting the silverware NOT where they're supposed to go!
You have our thoughts and prayers ....

Ruth has been a part of my life as far back as I can remember, always by the side of Uncle Bill. Her smile could brighten any room, she was always sharing stories of her grandchildren, showing pictures, so proud! We will truly miss her. Uncle Bill, you are in our prayers and may these same memories comfort you at this very difficult time.
