James, Gary and families, I am just seeing about the passing of your Mother and am deeply saddened. I would often go into Leffler's just to say hi and talk. She was a kind and loving person, and I have thought of her so many times this past year. Jean U., I know you loved her deeply. I know no other way to help, but to pray for the family's comfort. My memories of Ruth will always warm my heart. Karla

My darling Aunt you will be missed by many of us. We all loved you so much and in return felt loved by you. You were sweet, loving, giving and kind. I am crying a lot of tears today but also remembering that you had a great life with your sons and other family members. Thankful that you were in my life.

This special lady has been in my life for years. A aunt that I could talk to about everything. When I think of her a smile automatically appears on my face. She and my Mom and Dad had a special bond.
So sorry for our loss on earth, but she is surely heaven's gain.

James and Gary I am so sad about Aunt Helen Ruth, Praying for both of you and your family. She is very special to us. Our Mother loved your mother and her youngest sister very much, so much that she named 2 of her children after her, me and Helen. I know your heart is hurting, but Look to the good memories you both have with her. She is out of her pain now. Love you both.
