I am sorry to hear that you mom passed away. She always sent me a Christmas card even after my folks both passed away. Your family has been friends with mine for 58 years eventhough we have gone our seperate ways for many years now. I remember playing with you at your house and mine and even your sisters petty coats starched so stiff that they would stand on their own. My thoughts are with you and yours.
Your childhood friend - Greg

Ruth was a great lady, and I do mean a lady. I have many fond memories of the bar she managed by the Colonial Bakery. She was so kind to my sister, and kind of like a "2nd Grandma" to her kids. I will always remember her smile.
