Guestbook

  1. Our hearts are heavy for all of you. We are sending you hugs and kisses and wish we could travel to be with you in this sad time and give them to you in person. Ken you are like a really good brother and we love you and Susie and Kenny and Eric very much. I maintain that when someone very elderly passes away all it means is that you have had them that much longer to love and losing them isn’t any easier. We are praying for you and your family that you find peace knowing Ruth is in heaven as her most perfect self. Hoping she seeks out Max.
    With much love and our deepest sympathy
    The Thibaults

  2. Dear Uncle Ed and Family,

    We were so sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt Ruth. Please know that we are thinking of you all and praying for peace in days to come.

    Timothy and Ann Parrett
