Just want you all to know how sorry I am to hear of Ruth's death.

I worked in the GC for 20 yrs. and was happy to have known Ruth as my payroll contact.

She was a very nice person and liked by everyone. My thoughts are with all of you at this time.

I'll miss Ruth's sweet gentle smile, but I know I'll still hear her voice whenever the choir sings.

Ruth's sweet smile and cute laugh will be missed at our choir practices, but I'm sure she's sharing both with that heavenly choir and really singing away!

Ruth was much loved here at Spirit of Christ Lutheran Church. Her warm smile and rich voice (in choir) will be missed! God bless and keep the Peterson family.
