I admired her for her Faith and the love she had for her husband, Glenn. add her two daughters And her grandchildren. and the rest of her family and friends. She was inspiration to me. all the jokes and the stories and the songs And my private thoughts And burdens I had shared with her I will take them with me. I looked up at her, just like another mother. rest in peace, Ruth. Till we meet again.😪💔”
