We were so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. She was such a nice lady always smiling.
She was a joy my parents really cared for her.

I was sad to hear of Aunt Ruthie’s passing. She was my great aunt but more like a grandmother to me. I will cherish my memories of her. My prayers of comfort to Sally and Dave and the grandkids.

She bought me my first jump rope. She allowed me to walk to her work after school and spend time with her.
She invited me to stay overnight. She was my Aunt Rukey! Rest easy and give my Mother a hug. What joyous reunion you two will have. Now this little family is together again.

May her soul rest in peace. Ruthie was such a lovely sweet lady, worked with her at UD. Hugs to Sally
and the entire family.
