Sorry for your loss- I took care of Ruth when I worked at North Adams- had alot of fun times with her
Tom & Sue & your families…
So very sorry to learn of your mother’s passing.. I always enjoyed talking with her..i didn’t realize she had been in a nursing home..I guess I’d lost track of her…I’m certain she is the happiest ever now with meeting her Creator plus being reunited with Jack…and her siblings…
I wish I could attend her memorial service, but my husband limits my comings and goings somewhat..Talk to Dory McNett,.. your cousin and mine too, I’m sure she will explain…
Peace be with all of you…
My condolences to Tom+Karen and Sue+David. Former neighbors of 22nd St – Ruth is on my mind, and Ramona alerted me of Ruth’s passing recently. So sorry to learn of your loss and I’m sure she is treasuring reuniting with Jack. Prayers to the family.
I remember the good times at our Cub Scout meetings! She was a special lady and is now at peace. My prayers are with you.
