A great lady has gone home to God.  Her family will miss her, greatly, and so will friends.  Ruth was my "buddy" at family parties. Recently, Ruth shared with me a hymn she had heard, and loved; it’s "Eagles’ Wings," the beginning words of which are:  "I will raise you up on eagles’ wings, hold you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of my hand.:  And that’s what God has done for Ruth.

Sister Patricia Kelly, M.S.B.T.

I have fond memories of Auntie Ruth cooing over family babies and playing the harmonica-she was always gracious, funny and
caring.

Love to Bill,Carole and Pat….
