Ruth was my mother-in-law for 16 years and is the grandmother of my 2 sons Jon and Jay. She had a tough life to start with but no matter what situation she was faced with she persisted and had a smile on her face and a warm and giving heart. She was always good to me and my sons. Always thoughtful, she would do special things for each person she loved. For the past 30 or so years she has lived with Rick and Barb and enjoyed a much more normal life. Some people in life are just genuinely open, loving and have a warm heart - always thinking of others - this was Ruth. I am much better to have known her and will always have fond memories of her. - Posted by: Brian Miles (ex-son-in-law) on: Sep 09, 2014

All her dreams are now coming true and she will be spending Christmas with Jesus this year! Hugs to all of you! With love... - Posted by: Wendy and Joe Krupnik (Family Friends) on: Sep 06, 2014
