I send warm wishes of condolence to Ruth’s family. When I was Volunteer Services Director at Day Kimball Hospital, Ruth was one of our most faithful (and fun) volunteers. I also knew her from church. She was a wonderful woman, and I have missed her since I left the hospital. My best to all of you. Ede-Jo
