Sorry to learn of the passing of Ruth. I worked with Ruth at Willow Valley . Ruth was a caring person. She was always smiling. I enjoyed working with Ruth. My condolences to her family.

To Ruth’s family, I want to express my sadness and sympathy to you all at this difficult time. I learned to know Ruth when I visited Karen and so I know she was a wonderful mom who cared for her family, always cooking and concerned for them. May you always remember the kind things she did as well as the joyful things. She will be missed. I am praying for all of you to receive comfort and strength and especially wisdom as you make decisions. God is with you.
