    So sorry for the loss of your sister, Ruth. I worked with Ruth at the VA Hospital in Providence, and we also socialized outside of work on occasion. She had a good sense of humor and we had some good times together. May she rest in peace. God bless you and your family. Sincerely, Sue Taylor MacLeod

    Sadness at the passing of Ruth. I did not know her very well. After attending the beautiful funeral service, I wish that I had known her better. I am a first cousin. I remember Uncle Benny & Aunt Susie from many years ago. Charles, please accept my condolences at your sister’s passing. What an interesting life she led! And friends…and co-workers….think of all the good things. With respect, cousin Marilyn
