Dear Christine, Billy, Gary and spouses and expecially the grandchildren..We want to express our heartfelt sadness upon the loss of your Mother, Mother-in-law, and Grandmother,also our co-worker for many years. Ruth spoke of her
children and/or grandchildren on a daily basis..we shared many moments of friendship about each of you and yours. She was so proud of all of you, and knew her greatest fortune
was her
family. She always wanted the very best for you. Dhe delighted on your accomplishments especially the grandchildren We had long talks about Bill and often times, Lisa, whom she missed very dearly.Ruth touched the lives of many clients at Family Service with her warmth and compassion and she especially took to the adolecents and they to her. We have had pictures of Kara,Brent, Billy and Ciley posted on our wlls during various times. Ruth is now with some others she hasn’t seen for a long time and is not alone.
God Bless you all..

Gary Clough and Family,
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your Mom. Thinking of you. Marcy
I was so sad to hear of Ruth’s passing . . . I was glad I got to see her at Peterson Hospital in late November of 2001. She was a joy and a very funny woman to be around. I know that she’s at peace now and very happy with her husband Bill, daughter Lisa and her friend, Mary Dickman, who also passed on eight months ago. I met Ruth through Mary Dickman and was glad to know her. She was a very cool lady and decorated the hallway in Overlook Apartments A2with such class. I admired her and will miss her a lot. My thoughts and prayers are with you all . . . I know that you will miss her too!!!
To Christine, Bill, Gary, and all your family:
I am very sad to learn of the passing of your wonderful Mother. She was a great lady, who, along with your late father, raised a group of fine children, all of whom I have always held in the highest regard–and always will.
My deepest and most sincere sympathies go out to all of you. I will keep you in my prayers, praying that God will give you the strength to carry on through this time of grief, and always.
Most sincerely,
Gordy
