With deepest sympathy and respect, my prayers and love are shared for all of you.
We send love, prayers, and good memories of Ruth. I remember Ruth’s delicious recipes she was always sharing, especially her zucchini cookies. Everytime I make them I think of her and her delightful, open smile and hospitality. Thank you for sharing your mom with us Pat.
Always, Anna
