April 4, 2018 at 10:55 pmRuth always had amazing stories to tell me of her times playing softball as well as being on the bowling league. It was such an honor to take care of Ruth. She really taught me so much in the time that I got with her. I looked forward to our evening chats after dinner. Thanks for sharing her with us.
