I am very sorry for your loss. Ruth Prale was a wonderful woman, loving mother and incredible grandmother. I know she will be very much missed by everyone who knew her. My deepest sympathies to everyone in the family! Leah, I know she was very proud of you and all that you have achieved. My prayers are with you all.

Love,

My heartfelt condolences to all the family. I attended grad school with Ruth and knew her to be bright, always grounded and very fun. Decades later I met her grandsons as Bell students and their mom, Leah. I smile just thinking about this family. Leah and Boys, my heart goes out to you at this time.

Sincerely,
Diane Hudyka

We will always remember working with you for the good of the C.T.U. membership.
We will not forget.

I remember all the time and effort Ruth exerted for the Union.

As an active member of the Chicago Teachers Union, Ruth always had the interests of individual teachers at the top of her list. She will be missed.

Dear Frieda,

Our circle of old friends grows ever smaller. I well remember the last time we were all together.

My deepest sympathies.

I am very sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. She was a good friend of mine both in the neighborhood and at the union. She was a smart and a strong person whose company I always enjoyed. I shall miss her. Please accept my condolences.

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your mother and grandmother.
I remember meeting her many times when the kids were at Todd Hall and Rutledge Hall. She always had nice things to say to me as their teacher.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Thank you for the many years of your friendship, kindness and infectious sense of humor. You will be remembered with loving thoughts.

Dear Frieda,
So sorry to see Ruth's passing. She was a fun, expressive lady who lived with enthusiasm and laughed at life.
