RIP Ms Ruth. I will miss you and our visits. Loved you sweet heart. The virus kept us from seeing you. Our conversations will forever be in my heart. You made me laugh so much. I always felt like you were a mom to me through Jimmy (Forest) man. My family will miss you dearly. Sending warm hugs to your granddaughters and great grandchildren.
