"Aunt Ruth", as I called my mother's dearest friend, was a shining light in my life. From my earliest childhood memories, she was always loving, accepting, optimistic, gracious, and kind. She could always laugh at herself and it was always a pleasure to be with her and talk to her. It was an honor and a delight to celebrate her 100th birthday with her and her family in September. While we will miss her very much, my husband, Jerry, and I are glad that she passed peacefully and will be spared any further pain and suffering. We send our most heartfelt condolences and love to the family.
