"Dear Frank and Family,
I first met Ruth when working at GTE in Venezuela. She was a most kind, loving, understanding and level headed human being. She was also the epitome of a super bilingual executive secretary. I will never forget the all nighters we pulled when bids, due the following day, had to be corrected, reworded, revised and retyped at the same time as trying to keep Frank calm. All this on an ordinary type writer...no computers back then! What we didn't do to get the next day off!! Frank, we know you will miss Ruth terribly but you will have to try to focus on all the good times you had and know that you are so blessed to have had this classy lady in your life!
Much Love and so, so sorry for your loss,
Don and Marianne

Tributes
"What a lovely, smiling friend Ruth was! We knew her through Frank whom we met at college. We played together in Venezuela, in Maine, USA, and sailing the Windward Islands. She was beautiful and, I think, kept Frank under control, a good thing. We send our love and condolences to all the extended families. Tom and Mimi Adams,also on behalf of Jodie Blagden."
