Your mom, wife and grandmother will be missed. May all of your wonderful memories of Ruthie comfort you through this most difficult time. My childhood memories of Ruthie at the Lake house will be cherished forever. She always made my sister and I feel at home and would always ask us if we were hungry because something good was always cooking in her kitchen.
