Moms are so special, never forgotten.
i will always have a very special place in my heart for my Aunt Ruth. Ruth was 12 years old when I was born and subsequently became my favorite babysitter and teenage idol! She was so pretty, sweet, and kind. So many years ago when she decided to leave Washington D.C., I tried to talk her into moving to Colorado, but, she must have known that she had a wonderful future waiting for her in Grand Rapids. My last memory of Ruth and Bernie is during their last visit to Colorado, we all went out to a concert, dinner, and dance. What a fun evening that was.
Goodnight Sweet Auntie, You are loved and will be missed by many.

I will always remember Ruth’s smile and her joyful spirit. She was such a kind and thoughtful woman. Ruth loved her Lord and shared her faith and trust in Him often in our Ladies Neighborhood Bible Study. She will be dearly missed. We rejoice that Ruth is home in heaven with her Lord and Bernie. “There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain” Revelation 21:4
I’m going to miss you Ruth. All the wonderful things we did together. The restaurants we went to. All the places you took my dad and I to. Opening up your house to me so I had a warm place to sleep at night so I could visit my dad during the day. I will never find another friend like you. I’m going to miss you dearly. I’m so broken hearted you won’t be physically around any more. I love you Ruth; you are my best friend 😞
