To Michele, Melissa and Michael,
We will always remember your Mom as a warm and caring person. Always interested in the people around her. And our patients showed that by continuing to ask about her after she retired. Definitely one of those people who impacted the lives of others. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Well, it's been a tuff road. That Ruthie was a fighter that is one thing I know for sure. She had a warm heart but most certainly could be tough at times. Never doubt the love that she felt for you, your brother, sister and grandchildren. She would tell me of the grand times she had with friends and family. LOVED to brag about her children and grandchildren. She was proud of each and everyone of you. She will fly like an angel and we will cherish our memories of her. Love you and all the family during this difficult time.RIP Ruthie Toothie!
