Teresa and Evie, I am so sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. As you know I worked with her at Heck's and she was a delight to work with. Funny and such a hard worker. I was in Sporting Goods and she was over the Jewelry Dept which were side by side. I loved her and she helped me so much while I was there. She was a great teacher, worker and truly concerned with everyone. You can see very clearly what a great woman she was because of who she raised. It is very hard to lose your Mother as we just did this past August, it is losing your best friend and biggest supporter, ever. My heart goes out to you sweet devoted girls. My prayers are with you through this loss. We do have the comfort of knowing we will see them again as The Lord promised. Love you guys and thinking of you!!!
