Dear John:
Please accept our deepest sympathies. We were very sadden to hear the news about Ruth. We still think about the time you both stayed with us and went to Cedar Point and about the time Ruth did the music for our ladies retreat at Bulah Beach. She was so talented and will be sorely missed by so many. God Bless you. Our prayers will be with you.
