I miss you so much Aunt Ruth
Sharon and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a very talented lady and I enjoyed our conversations about sewing with her. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Joe and family~
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Ruth! She was no doubt one of our favorite patients. I was very fond of her. With deepest sympathy, Beth

It is always tough when someone you know passes away. It is especially tough when it is someone you have known all your life. I don't know what year Uncle Joe and Auntie Ruth bought the house on Fulton street but I do remember the occassion because Joe and Dad were almost trapped when a gas leak in the basement caught fire. We went past that house every day we went to St. John's school, played in their yard, spent Christmases and had birthday parties there.
The last couple years Auntie Ruth has been mailing her family photo albums to me so I could digitize the old photographs. Looking at those old pictures have brought back so many memories, I'll always be grateful for her sharing them with me.
Auntie Ruth and Uncle Joe were as much a part of my life as my own Mom and Dad and I will miss her as much as I miss Dad.
Mom has so many wonderful family and friends that have been supporting her through throughout her life. She lived her life with dignity and grace and she will be missed beyond words. Thank you to all who are posting pictures, writing messages, calling, dropping by, praying and the many other ways you are showing your support. You are all loved.
Ruth's charming personality and giving heart will be greatly missed. May God be near her dear family and friends during this time.
Auntie Ruth was a "lady" who loved to be around people and laughed often. She used to call me every couple of weeks to see how I was doing or I would call her to chat and catch-up. I will miss her dedication to people. She was devoted to her husband and family and her love showed itself. The warmth she added to this world will be greatly missed by so many besides me.
Although much time has passed sense I saw you Aunt Ruth and Uncle Joe a piece of my heart broke when I heard of her passing. I will always remember her welcoming smile and will cherish ,even more, the GB Packer pillow she made and let us take home, just for visiting. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Uncle Joe.
Auntie Ruthie was soft spoken, but any conversation with her was always filled with sincerity and laughter. She could joke with the best of us.. We will miss you Auntie Ruthie, and to Uncle Joe, Sharon and Donna, we share in your loss and our sympathies go out to you. We will see you in the near future. All our love, John and Rhonda Suchon and family.
Ruth always had a smile on her face, even during the hard times. She will be greatly missed.
