My Aunt Ruthie was loved by all of her nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. She touched all of our lives in so many ways, and was a inspiration to so many in our family as well as the community. She loved her children unconditionally as well as her extended family. We will miss her so very much. My husband, Larry, gave her a great compliment..."she had grace...and I loved her more than my own aunts"...and said with tears. We will miss her so very much...and she was ready to go "home" when she left this earth. Our hearts rejoice for her new found freedom and yet we grieve because we have lost someone so special. Our prayers are with my cousins, Kathy, Michael, Elizabeth, Ben and Peter and for my Uncle Elmer.
