Dear Skip and Family,

We're so saddened to learn of dear Ruth's death. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you all at this difficult time.

We will always remember Ruth as a soft, gentle, self effacing woman. We felt the warmth of her friendship although our visits with you in recent years were so few and far between.

Ruth will be remembered in masses at our parish church, The Nativity of Our Lady, in San Luis Obispo.

Fondly,

Don and Joan
