May God make your days be filled with ease at this time of loss. Ruth will be so missed by everyone who had the good fortune to know her, and I was one of the lucky ones. She loved and was so proud of her kids. And her grandchildren were her greatest joys. God must have had a plan for her, just know that she is with him now.
