Seeing Ruth's picture brings back such wonderful memories of our life in Tekonsha! She brightened up the day for everyone at Old's and then Newt's Market - for us, and for our parents, and probably everyone in Tekonsha and surrounding areas. She was a bright light and will be missed.

I loved Grandma Casebeer and would look forward to seeing her when I was in town. She also loved my daughters and sent them birthday and Christmas cards every year. She was very special to us and she will be missed. Gods grace be with you, Grandma. Thanks!

We thought the world of Ruth. She was a wonderful person to work with. We will miss her calls and all the cakes she use to make for Tony.
