"Ruth, you have been a divine part of my moms life. More like a sister, but her best friend. Most of us could only hope to find the kind of friendship the two of you shared. The laughter til you both cried, the jokes, the common joys of gardening, mall walking, shopping, Tai Chi classes, lunches at Leo?s and Culvers and Charlie?s, workshops on health, life and nature, the garden tours, unending organizing of paperwork, and so many other unforgettable memories. How you loved to see and hear the girls sing and dance, how you were always up for an adventure. Always a positive spirit and outlook even through the hurt and pain. You are a strong woman. A model for us. Your heart was so big and full of life. The hole left in our hearts can never be filled by anyone else. You are a rare and special gift from God. Our lives will never be the same. You have been a true blessing to our entire family and we love you more than words could ever say. We know it?s time to go for now, God needs you more than us. May you forever tend to His beautiful garden and make the other angels smile. Until we meet again?Thank you for being the greatest friend. We love you and miss you dearly. Courtney-Nancy?s daughter"
