It is sad to see Ruth has departed us at this point of her and our lives, but will be unified with others in God's hands and eternal life.

Those family members that have gone before, have already welcomed Ruth into Paradise with them.

In our celebration of Ruth´s unselfish life and always care and concern to her family and friends, Ruth will remain in our hearts and thoughts and is only a prayer away should we need her guidance going forward...she will always be with us in spirit.

Thank you Ruth...you were exceptional and loved....

Love to her family.
