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
