strength to handle this difficult time.

Ruthie meant so much to my family. I loved Friday evening dinners out with “the gang.” She was so sweet when she came by to wish my father happy birthday before we moved the folks to Florida. I’ll always remember her precious words of goodbye. Much Love to her and Rex.
