As all of you who knew Ruth, there are countless stories that most of us could recite of how she has impacted our lives. Because for Ruth, making other people happy and putting them before herself was her priority. That was Ruth.
Not everyone is as fortunate to have had someone like Ruth touch their life. Friendships start with mutual respect, but lasting friendships develop into more than just respect. It is sometimes through friendships we grow to love that person. I believe that Ruth had that type of relationship with her friends. Ruth was one of those special people who reached out to everyone. She touched our lives so profoundly that she became our friend.
Ruth was a person of integrity with great compassion for others. She had a tireless gift of wanting to always be there when someone was in need...whatever that need may have been. An aura of calming peacefulness always seemed to surround her. She gave of herself freely always showing compassion, encouragement, and understanding. Ruth?s inner wisdom was almost like a whisper, it was never boastful. Ruth taught many of us how to become a better person through example.
She was not only a dear friend of mine but also someone who impacted my life in which no other could ever accomplish. She was like a grandmother to my children and a great grandmother to my Grandchildren. I feel my family has been blessed to know her not only as a friend but also as part of my Florida family.
I recently heard someone say that we are not human beings having a spiritual experience.........we are all spiritual beings having a human experience. For me Ruth is not gone but will remain in my heart forever.
