Ruth was an amazing woman a rare find and strong in mind, love, heart, and smarts. She was an inspiration to me as a women and someone that rose above adversity with style and grace. She was forgiving and compassionate. She adored the family she created.. It always amazed me how she raised her children as a single Mom through incredible odds. But after all history is said and done; she was there with her Sister, Jane to the end, telling her how proud she was of her and how much she loved her. I watched her transition from a Sister that day November 26, 2010 to a hospice nurse as she stayed by Mom's side for hours. Those loving words and tender touch will be etched in my mind and heart forever. I will never ever forget her love and strength. It has been my guiding beacon for 55 years. Ruth... and never call her "Aunt Ruth", will be missed by all and of course by her Niece Laurie Love you Ruth.. to the moon and back!
