To Ruth’s Family,
I was a nurse with Ruth for several years, at Aston Park HCC. She was a joy to work with, always kind and caring to every one. Always smiling and able to cheer up anybody who was having a bad day, regardless if they were a resident or co-worker. I was shocked to read about her passing. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Cherish your memories. You know she is with Bill and will be celebrating Christmas up in Heaven. I understand your grief as I lost my mama 2 years ago. Again my condolences to you.
Bill, I am very sorry for the loss of your Mother I know you loved her dearly and she knew you loved her you were by her side through her sickness. She is in Heaven with no more suffering….what a blessing to have that assurance. My prayers are with you and your family in this difficult time.
May God continue to keep u Mr. Johnny Debbie and Bill prayers going out to each and everyone of you! Mrs Ruth was a wonderful women and was very much willing to try and everything that was asked of her! Nose over Toes!
Rest Easy Ms.Ruth
