Ruth, We were so lucky to know and spend time with you. You made us laugh, you made us cry, you made us feel like family, you made us appreciate the family we had around us. While your body has passed, your memory will live on with us forever. Thank you for all the memories.

Ruth was one of the first people I met when I first moved to the Kansas City area back in 1988. Such fond memories of going to the Holiday Inn and the piano bar she was definitely one of a kind and will truly me missed, I am glad she got to meet my wife and my 2 year old twins.
