We are sad to hear that Aunt Ruth passed away and sorry that we can't be there. We have many fond memories of both her and Uncle Glenn, especially after we moved to Rossford and spent more time with them. We are thankful that she passed away peacefully and will miss her. Take care, you are in our prayers.

Love,
Jim, Judy, Matthew & John David McCumber
