Auntie Ruth will be fondly remembered. We are sending our prayers of peace and healing for our dear cousins, we love you all.
I remember her from my teenage years with Glenn, very gracious caring lady who loved her family! God bless!
Rest in Peace Grandma Ruth. The time has come for you to relax, painfree and spend some time with those who left before you! Love, Phillis
Wish we could come to the service. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
You will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Aunt Ruth is one of my hero’s a truly loving and giving lady. I love you Aunt Ruth!
We only met once, but I could tell straight away that you were a lovely lady. Rest in God’s peace Ruth and may light perpetual shine upon you.
I am standing by the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze
and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength,
and I stand and watch
until at last she hangs like a speck of white cloud
just where the sun and sky come down to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says, ‘There she goes!
Gone where? Gone from my sight – that is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull and spar
as she was when she left my side
and just as able to bear her load of living freight
to the places of destination.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says,
‘There she goes! ‘ ,
there are other eyes watching her coming,
and other voices ready to take up the glad shout :
‘Here she comes!’
I did not write this but felt it appropriate. She was a second mother to me growing up with Glenn. I was always a part of the family. She was a gracious, loving lady that I will hold in my heart forever! I, truly, loved this wonderful addition to my life. This was the final chapter in her life’s book. We are all blessed to be a part of the chapters. Doug
Even thou the years and miles seemed to move us apart, she always had a smile for us when we came home. She will always be Grandma to me and Karen, and Great-Grandma to Claire and Tessa. Heaven now has a new angel to welcome everyone with open arms…We will truly miss you
Remembering all the family gatherings we shared though the years, Aunt Ruth was special she will be missed. My prayers are with you Glenn and Colleen.
You were like a mother to me!
You will be missed by many!!!
Love you,
Shari
You are holding my GD Alexa.
I have fond childhood memories of Grandma. With my other grandparents living in Europe it was always nice to have a new grandparent close to home after Mom married Glenn. We will miss her sweet presence.
My Aunt Ruth was truly a loving wonderful person. I never heard her have a cross word with or about anyone. She often took care of me when I was just a little girl and both of my parents worked. I have so many fond memories of her. I will always cherish those memories I have of her. .
You were a kind and thoughtful Grandmother. You will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Mom,
A million times
I’ve needed you
A million times I’ve cried,
If love alone
Could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place,
No one else can ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn’t go alone
Part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.
