Sorry for the loss of your mother Art. I’m sure she’s already missed. She had been through a lot as of recent and I’m sure she’s in a better place now.
I am so sorry for your family’s loss; I had met her on several occasions-she was a special lady.
I have wonderful memories of visiting Ruth in St. Clairsville. I am so sorry I can’t be there for the funeral. My thoughts and prayers are with my cousins and their families.
I love you Aunt Ruth!
My greatest memory of Ruth was when we were rushing KB to the hospital and I was going 85 mph, and blew thru a toll booth. She was a real trooper and never let me forget our wild ride. A great lady..Miss her already.
