Ruthie was my best friend, she was the sweetest, kindest individual anyone could ask for, she would never judge you, but just love you, to know Miss Ruthie, was to look be Miss Ruthie, I'll love her forever â¤ï¸
Ruth was a very nice Lady, I knew her for a short time but saw her as a quiet polite lady, I don't visit bars very often but on special occasions I would visit beer:30 and Ruth would always smile and get on her phone and tell certain people " Roger is here" that would make me smile, relatively lately I did ask her how she was doing and she just answered "OK", I liked Ruthie and looked for her when I would go into Beer:30, I am saddened and will truly will miss this sweet little lady.
Ruthie, you sure are going to be missed! But I know you are in a better place and not suffering any longer. R.I.P. little lady
