Ruth was a teenager when I was born, so I felt we had a special connection. She was living with her Mother, Barbara Graske, and they took care of me when my Mom returned to work. Oh, what wonderful memories!

Dear Cory and Bruce and Family: My deepest sympathies on your loss. I always enjoyed it when my mom took us to visit Aunt Ruth, as she always told good stories about my grandmother, and looked so much like her, too. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Sincerely,
Sharon (Blanchette)DeVault
