To all Family, I have known Ruth since Jan and I started kindergarten together and she was like my second mom. I was at the house often throughout childhood and she was always welcoming and full of cheer.
When we grew up my own mom and I went frequently to lunch with Jan and Ruth and we always laughed through the entire time we were together
My husband Bob got to know her well when we would see each other at the Ocean, which she truly enjoyed.
I will miss her deeply and always cherish the last time Jan and I visited with her at Wesley Gardens,which was quite recently.We brought her ice cream and sat and laughed and chatted.
I love you Ruth, Rest in Peace and have lunch with mom.
Love, Linda and Bob
