Oh Sweet Ruth, I will forever remember the times youd let me come and sit in your rocking chair, or when we would enjoy a morning of oatmeal and blueberries. It was such and honor knowing you and your family and all that you endured in life. You have forever left a mark on my life. sending love and prayers of comfort and peace to your family.
