Loved Ruth and John. They were are next door neighbors. We had so much fun going out to eat and spending many hours outside on the patio. Thankful to know Ruth and John.

I was the Medical Director of Mercy Emergency Department for many years. I had the pleasure of having Ruth work with me as both as receptionist and as my secretary. She was truly a lovely lady. I valued her greatly as a person. I think I could truly call her my friend.
My condolences to the family. You have lost a great one.
