Becky, Ralph, Larry and families, My Aunt Ruth was one of the most special people on earth, she had such a wonderful impact on my and my family's lives when we were growing up. And she was my mom's best friend. I'll never forget her sweet little giggle that she shared with us so generously. In my dad's words, 'Every child should have an Aunt Ruth'. She was one of a kind. We loved and appreciated her. I'm sorry for your loss. It's hard to imagine a world without her. But she will forever live on in my memories of her as a warm, wonderful, funny and generous lady. Rest in Peace, Aunt Ruth, your job here is done. Tina
