Hi Ma, It is the beginning of Spring again, and going on a year real soon. I miss you so very much and wish I could visit you. I know I talk to you still everyday, but its not the same. If I could only hear your voice again. You were and always will be a huge Huge piece of my world. I hope and Pray you know how much. I love you to pieces, and I miss you too.

If I could only hear your voice again. You were and always will be a huge Huge piece of my world. I hope and Pray you know how much. I love you to pieces, and I miss you too. everyone says, it gets easier, and less painful, but I just haven't found that yet. It is still as hard today as it was then and it hurts more every day. I know you are so much healthier, and happy to be with your loved ones and that helps me through. I am happy to know you are finally back with your mom and dad, because you missed them like I miss you. I Love you Ma, so very very much!

Grandma,

Like when Bobby, Kaitlyn, and I used to go with you and grandpa to Vermont every summer.. I remember when I would be at your house and ask for something to eat.. And you would yell at me for asking! And when you always watched wrestling and you got so into it. I would call you on the phone, and you would just be yelling at the t.v. Now, grandpa makes sure he always watches wrestling!! He hasnt missed one night of it!
I love you so much grandma and you will never be forgotten!!! I cherish every moment that I was blessed to spend with you! I am still going to live my life to make you proud of me!!!
Love you grandma.. I know you are dancing and playing bingo up there in heaven.. Give daddy a hug and kiss for me...and tell him that I love him and miss him too!!!

Dear Slim, Joe, Wally, Barbie, Eddy, and Family:
Our collective hearts go out to all of you at this difficult time. Aunt Ruth, as the matriarch of your family, was always happy to share how proud she was of each of you and especially her grandchildren. Ruth was also an exceptional friend to her sister Lorraine, our Mother. Even after Ruth moved from Vermont to Virginia, she kept regular contact with Mom. And when Mom passed, Ruth would call us (her
Dear Slim, Joe, Wally, Barbie, Eddy, and Family:
Our collective hearts go out to all of you at this difficult time. Aunt Ruth, as the matriarch of your family, was always happy to share how proud she was of each of you and especially her grandchildren. Ruth was also an exceptional friend to her sister Lorraine, our Mother. Even after Ruth moved from Vermont to Virginia, she kept regular contact with Mom. And when Mom passed, Ruth would call us (her children) annually, to find out how everyone was doing. She had more energy than the Energizer Bunny and an incredible zeal for life. She loved bingo, she loved a great sale, but most of all she loved family and friends. This was her hallmark and she has left an indelible mark the hearts of those who knew and loved her. We can only imagine how much you will miss her. Life is too short, but memories last forever. Hold fast to these and she’ll always be by your side and in your hearts.
Love and Condolences,

If I don't write, will it bring you back? I didn't think so...
I look back and wonder why our paths crossed and it causes me to think of all the life lessons that you demonstrated over the years: how to be loving yet firm, how to cherish more than family even if they are just your daughters friends, how to overcome differences and obstacles, how to survive tragedy, and how to be strong. I think I was to learn from

I look back and wonder why our paths crossed and it causes me to think of all the life lessons that you demonstrated over the years: how to be loving yet firm, how to cherish more than family even if they are just your daughters friends, how to overcome differences and obstacles, how to survive tragedy, and how to be strong. I think I was to learn from your examples. The one thing that we have yet to learn is how to do it all without you, there's no guide for doing that. I pray that you watch over us and when needed, remind us that although you're not physically here, you are with us always! Rest well, you have made a difference in so many lives.
Our hearts go out to everyone for the loss of an inspirational woman, wife, mother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. You are truly missed...

Eddy, Ken, Kaitlyn, Kent, Austin, Slim, Barbie, and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Ruth was such a wonderful person. I remember her getting us passes to Busch Gardens and being so sweet to all the kids in the Windy Hill neighborhood. We hope that warm memories of her will comfort you during this time of loss. She loved you all so much and will forever be your guardian angel.
With love,
Colleen, Scott and Patrick

I still can't believe you gone! I remember when we would go with you to Joe's house and had Kimchi for the first time. I remember going with you, my mom and Eddie to Vermont. I loved when you would take me and mom with you to work, looking at all the coo coo clocks. Oh and the times when I got to go with you and mon to Bingo, even though I couldn't play and had to do home
