The family would like to thank Cherry Meadows Hospice for their exceptionally kind and loving care of Ruth, our loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother.
There was love in our mother's touch and sunshine in her smile. There was kindness in everything she did to make our lives worth while. We know that death is a natural thing and it is almost like closing a door. As you start on your journey we can see the light of heaven shining in your face and sadly you will be missed by all.
