My deepest sympathy on your loss. I know you will miss Ruth very much.
Ruth Ann and I went to school together in Silver Spring. We spent many days together when we were younger, playing, laughing and enjoying our grandmother. I was her maid of honor when she married George in Silver Spring, MD. We lived together for a year until she married. I will miss her. Love, Janet
