Sharon and Teresa & families, So sorry for your loss. Just a few weeks back Robert and I were visiting & chatting with Ruth as we all were sitting in a waiting room. Your Mom was lovely as ever and she spoke fondly of you girls along with her gradchildren. We chatted about our medical years and the love of her life Dr. Henry Day. That day was a wonderful visit with your lovely Mom I shall always remember as well our childhood memories. Again my condolences.

Sharon, Teresa and families. So sorry for your loss. She was a kind, sweet person and rarely out of sorts. We worked together most of her nursing years. Had good and bad moments but tried our best. May God keep his loving arms around you. God Bless all of you.

Sherry, Terry, grandchildren, and sisters,

Today, I have been thinking about your beautiful Ruth. When I was a small child I remember that she looked like a movie star. She was a beautiful, classy woman when she graduated from high school.
Tonight, she is your guardian angel, and she will always be there for you.
Love, Patty and Richard

It is so sad to read that Ms. Day has passed away in death. May your memories of her as well as a hope of being reunited one day – John 5:28, 29 – bring you the peace and comfort you need at this time.
