    Uncle Dick, Jack, Jill and Jim, Jeff and I want to send out to you our prayers. We always will remember how beautiful and loving Aunt Ruth was. Loved how she shared all the family photos with all of us the last time you were at Lake George. Aunt Ruth always made us feel welcome. Losing your wife and mother is not easy, but the loving memories left behind will get you through. Love Jeff, Debbie and family Bradenton, FL

    Jack,

    Words never seem adequate when expressing thoughts at a time like this, but please know that you and your entire family have been and will remain in my thoughts, prayers and heart at this sad time. It’s those of us left behind that feel the heartache and loss Jack. Your mom is free from all that now. I pray that you will find comfort in the Lord and in the wonderful memories you have of your loving mom. With sincere sympathy and love, Donna.
