To Bill and Robin and families, my deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother. I wish I had had the opportunity to get to know her better. I pray that you find comfort in the knowledge that you can see her again in the resurrection, and she is now without pain. God promises that there will be a new world without pain or death or sorrow. (Rev.21:3,4) I look forward to that day. Love, Ginny

Deepest sorrow for the loss of a great person and friend....I worked with Ruth for many years at Convergys and loved coming in every morning and hearing good morning even if it was not a good one. I kept in touch with her even after she left Convergys and loved our talks. I do not understand this loss of a great person. I will cherish every moment and talk I had with Ruth and wish the family my deepest sympathy at this time. Robin anything you need please just ask. Ruth you will be forever remembered and forever missed....

Bill and Robin and families, I am so sorry for your loss. She was way too young to leave us. I have lots of happy memories of our younger years when we had so much fun together. I also remember some wonderful meals at your house as I loved her cooking. Your Mom was a kind and generous person with a keen sense of humor. I stayed at your parents for a week or two a couple of summers when I was a teenager and she always made be feel welcome. Love, Terry
