Dear Dawn and family,
I am so sorry to hear about Ruth's passing. She was a strong, independent woman who loved her country and took pride in her service in the Navy. She had a wonderful personality and was knowledgeable about so many topics. She will be missed by all of us. May you find comfort in memories of your time together.

Dawn, and families... I was so sorry to hear about Ruth and glad that I got to talk to you on Sunday Dawn. Your grandmother so loved all of you. Such a spunky, fiercely independent lady. I have missed her visits, and will miss seeing her and her hugs when I visit at St. Teresa's. She will be at peace now, seeing all those who have gone ahead of her.
