Hugs from Rochester! Can't be there with you today, but you are in our thoughts and prayers! When I think of Ruth and Albert, I have nothing but affection in my heart. It had been a long time since I had last Ruth, but my memory of her is vivid. She was such a loving and caring person - loved to visit- adored her family! Albert's been patiently waiting for his bride - and now they are together once again....love has come full circle. Take a deep breath and feel the comfort that they feel. Take care and God Bless!
