January 23, 2021 at 6:23 pmAunt Ruth you will be missed. It has been a long time since my younger self would spend time playing cards or just trying to be good while the adults talked. I have learned to appreciate the work you did through our genealogy and have enjoyed the few visits we have had since I became an adult. You were an amazing woman, strong and exuberant. I am looking forward to getting reacquainted someday. Praise God you are with Him now.
