Mom loved cats, although she never wanted to have one herself. :)

We are so deeply saddened by your loss, and ours, of a wonderful mother (Aunt). Aunt Ruth was small in stature, but so very large in faith and heart. I knew it was almost Christmas every year when her card arrived, she was like clock work - always the first one received. Her smile and laugh will echo in my memories. All our love and prayers are with you... Janet, Herb, Jonthan, Kimberly & Kelly.

Ruth was one of the sweetest and kind hearted person we ever met. I am sure many of you feel the same and will deeply miss her. May God bless the family.

So sorry to hear that Aunt Ruth passed away. She was such a sweet and lovely lady. Jim and I always enjoyed visiting with Wade and Ruth at family events.

As an early elementary school student I had decided to take violin lessons. I didn't have a violin. My Aunt Ruth loaned me her violin after demonstrating how she could still play it after many years of not doing so. I was surprised to learn that she had played the violin and influenced by her example. Aunt Ruth had many talents which she used to the benefit of others. A Nephew, Ron

Dear Family, I was so sorry to hear of Ruth's recent difficulties and subsequent passing. She was one of the most warm, positive, and peaceful people I have ever known. A wonderful role model for what it means to be human. I have to laugh remembering her idea of a cross word was 'well....'! Both Ruth and Wade played important roles in our family's lives and I was so happy to be able to see her last year at her 90th birthday party. With prayers and thoughts for you all, goodbye Aunt Ruth, with peace and love from Rob & Ann Line and family.

I was so very sorry to hear from Barb of Ruth's death. And thank you Lynn for calling my mother. I dreaded calling her having just several months ago had to tell her of Aunt Irma's death. I am very sorry that I will not be able to make it to the services but between Barb and Sandy and Jim they plan to get Mom there. (She amazes me. She grieves with each death but seems unshaken....lots of experience plus, of course, her faith.) I last saw Aunt Ruth several years ago when I took Mom down for a visit. She was always sweet to me. As you might have heard I moved Mom into an Assisted Living facility about 6 weeks ago. It has been very difficult on everyone. When you see her please encourage her. I am currently swamped in dealing with her affairs and am trying to get back to Ohio as soon as possible. I'll try to upload two photos. Thinking of you all, Conrad p.s. I have a few email addresses but please email me with yours for future reference...conrad.a@charter.net.
