i know all the angels are smiling now with your wit and your laughter. You will be sorely missed until we meet again.
We lost laughter in this world with the loss of Ruth, but Heaven’s gain means we can all rejoice forever. I just think of her and smile, and that is very telling because it has been 30 or more years since I was in her presence physically. We love you Ruth
