I know this is really late, but I want to say it anyway.
I had no idea that Ruthanne had passed away, if I would have known you would have heard from me alot sooner. Ruthanne and I became friends in 1951 when I moved to Liscomb. She was a good friend and a great person. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Ruthanne was such a loving, supportive mom. I spent many weekends over at the Heintz home, and always saw tremendous love in their home. I have so many memories of Ruthanne laughing and enjoying her family. From my entire family and me, I send our love and condolences to you.
All our love,
Teri (Walker) Meadow and the Walker family
