Dear Alvin, Dale, Joan and family Many memories of coming to your farm when I was young. Eunice was one of my best friends. Her mom Ruth was a great mom and she, Alvin and Dale always made it a great place to visit. Made you feel right a home! Ruth was a good cook too! I am unable to attend in person at this time, however, you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Sorry for your loss..... Alethea

Dear Alvin, Myrtle, William and your families. I was saddened to hear of Ruth's passing. My family (Diane and Bruce) told me of her recent struggles with her illness and know that she will now be at rest. I always so enjoyed Ruth's company …from our early days in the Church Luther League's plays to all the other activities, Ruth was always a spark of energy, always jovial and always ready to lend a helping hand. I know she will be missed very much but I also know that anyone who knew her will have many happy memories of her. May you also find comfort when you reflect on how much happiness and joy her life has brought to you and to all of us. My sincere sympathy to all of you. Barbara Gibbins (nee Schaus)
