I am so sorry to hear about Ruth passing on. She was a very nice lady and long time friend to my mom Ann Butler. I was so glad that she got to come to my mom’s brithday party because they had been friends for so very long. Friends like that you can’t replace. They shared many good times and bad. At least they had that one last good time together. It makes you cherish the good times. She will be missed.
