It is with sadness to learn today of the recent passing of my dear friend and secretary while working together at the Department of Health in Columbus, Ohio. I will remember Ruth as such an educator even though i was a nurse. She was so proud of her Son and Husband and than her two beautiful grand daughters and she shared that happiness in our communication after I moved on to Florida. Thank you for sharing the album of her life from beginning to end where she has returned to home among the Angels of love.
