    Thank you for your kindness


  2. Nat Rosenberg condolence:

    Dear family of Ruth. This is Nat, Bernie’s son. I can’t begin to express how much love and admiration our entire family had for Ruth. My dad cherished her. And, so did we. She was a strong, positive person her entire life. She was a beloved grandmother to my children. She was adored by all of my wife Kathy’s side of the family too. We talked often.
    Ruth always spoke so happily about all of you. She could not wait for the next holiday to see you. All of your family was there for me when Bernie passed away. I hope you know in this virtual age of Covid that we feel the loss of Ruth and support you as you did my family. With all of our love and best to all of you… Love, Nat, Kathy, Annie, and John Rosenberg.


  3. Althea Grudem condolence:

    Ruth entered my life when I joined a church Bible study group. I came to know her as a strong, caring, spiritual woman with a great sense of humor. I treasure our time together, in person and on the phone. May God bless your family as you mourn her loss and share precious memories.
