Sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you.
We are so sorry for your loss. We’ll always remember Ruthie’s laugh, and the fun we always had when we were all together. I remember when I had finally grown taller than Ruthie. I’ll always remember our good times at Mascoma Lake with our “extended family”. Good memories are priceless.
