My deepest sympathy to Sr. Ruth Ann and the family.
Mike, I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. Flo was a great lady. I enjoyed volunteering with her many times while at St. Dominic. She was always so fun to work with.
Sorry for your loss Mike. It has been a long time since seeing ya. Best of health to you! Dennis and Lynn Semerad
Our deepest sympathy to Mike, Brian and Ruth. I have such fond memories as kids playing at the Klauser farm and at our grandparents’ farm. Time will never erase those memories. A long time ago a far-away war took me away from Quincy and then a career path kept me away for the most of the intervening years. I am saddened to hear of Flo’s passing and I know she will be greatly missed by you. Our prayers are with you all.
Hi Sister Ruth Ann.I know this is a hard time because I have lost two sisters. I keep finding things they gave me that have helped me remember what they meant to me. I wish that you also will find things from her to help you. I hope you will get deserving comfort from your friends. You helped me through a difficult time years ago and I thank you for that. It isn’t going to be forgotten. I wish you well as you carry on through this new kind of journey.
Take care,
Debby Thurman
Dear Sr. Ruth, so sorry for the loss of your sister. I know losing a sister is tough. I lost mine many years ago, & still feel the loss. But I know she’s in Heaven.
