My dear sweet neighbor with the most beautiful garden.

I always knew that Aunt Ruth was a positive influence in my daughter's life, but really realized it when my daughter became a mother herself. Aunt Ruth was so loving and nurchuring, always. Through all the heartbreak, loss and sorrow in her own life, she continued to take care of her babies. Please know that she will be in my heart forever and I send my prayers to you in your loss.
