To the family and all who loved Ruth Ann I offer my deepest heartfelt sympathy. Shirley and Leila, I am so sorry you have lost a beloved sister. I send my comforting thoughts and hugs to you. Praying for peace for the family. May your happy memories help you until you are together again.❤

Oh Aunt Rufus. I thought I had more time before I needed to write something like this. I am lucky that I have had 37 years with you and I can share all of our memories with the boys and Vanessa. I love you and miss you. We are connected forever my "scarecrow".

Always in my heart. I feel like a lost puppy. Not sure where to go or even know what to do. It seems like life should just stand still but I know that isn't the way you would want it. I'm trying to stay strong and when it gets to be to much I'll try to do as you taught me and give it to GOD. love you and miss you.

I am so sorry to hear about Ruth Ann. We went to Center High School together and I knew Ruth Ann in the 2nd grade. She was a delightful person and I’m so sorry for your loss. God Bless.Terry Mohr
