    Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family at this difficult time. It was a pleasure getting to know Ruth and have her spend the holidays with us for the past few years.

    May her memory be a blessing.

    Ruth was an amazing women. She always had a smile and we were always greeted with a hug. I especially will miss her very much when we would go for our weekly visits for lunch and shopping. Ruth and my mom were great friends, now that they both have passed they will meet again and continue their friendship with our Lord. God bless to you and your family in this time of sorrow.

    My thoughts are with you at this time. I have wonderful memories of cousin Ruthie. The many holidays we celebrated together as I was growing up. I fondly remember her smile and generous love. She was a wonderful friend and “sister” to my grandmother. May memories give you comfort at this time of loss.
