My Mother lives across the hall from Ruth at Stone Crest Apartments. They became very close and I had the opportunity to get to know Ruth over the past few years. It was so nice to hear her talk about my son Jeff; she would say "oh he is so tall and so handsome". What a wonderful woman and what a great friend she was to my Mother. She will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
