Tributes
"So sorry to hear of your loss. Aunt Ruth was a special lady. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers."
"Made a mistake, but all the same. We felt like she was a Mom to Dennis. Our sympathy to your wife for losing her dear Mom. Sympathy to the entire family! Ruth Robinson was a very nice lady!"
"Dennis, so sorry to learn of your Mom's passing. You and your family have our deepest sympathy at this sad time."
"Since Ruth became homebound and unable to attend Mass, I was privileged to bring the Body of Christ to her. She mentioned many times how humbled she was that Jesus would come to her home. We spoke often about this world not being our home and we were just passing through until Jesus calls us and now Jesus has called Ruth to be with Him."
