Didn't know Ruth had passed away till this week. I would have come to funeral, she was a awesome woman. I enjoyed our many talks when I would stop by her office. We started in 2004 when she started doing our payroll. After selling our business in 2014 I would still stop by just to chat. Missed stopping in when she moved business to her home. My thoughts and prayers to the family.
