My thoughts are with you today and in the days ahead as I know you will miss your Mom, but you will have many moments of laughter as you remember all the fun times and the good life she lived.
We have such a great appreciation for Ruth, we are devastated by her passing. We are honored to have shared such great laughter, card and domino games, as well as all the stories over the years. I can only imagine the peace she now has, and the anguish she's left behind. We've always considered the Armer's as family and we are regretful that we cannot attend to show our respect for such a beautiful person who has touched our lives in so many ways. Love and misses, hugs and kisses.
God bless!!
