I was so sad to hear of Ruth but I know heaven is rejoicing!
She was a part of my childhood I will never forget. She became a teacher , a mentor, and a friend. She one of the calmest, kindest ladies I have ever know.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

John, Roger, and All -

Your Mom was a wonderful lady. I was blessed to get to know her just a little back in "The Inside Edge" days practicing in her basement. She was calm and had the quiet countenance of wisdom.

To make it to 101: wow! She sure lived to the fullest. We all can learn from her.

May your grief pass quickly, and the great memories overshadow the darkness you feel right now.

I knew both Sanford and Ruth. What wonderful people. Ruth had such a calming and reassuring presence. She was an amazing person. So full of life. May you find peace in knowing the positive impact she had on many.
