RUTH ANN WILL BE MISSED BY SO MANY WHO KNEW AND LOVED HER. SHE AND HER FAMLY CAME BACK INTO MY LIFE JUST A SHORT TIME AGO AND NOW SHE'S GONE AGAIN. BUT I KNOW I WILL SEE HER AGAIN ONE DAY. SHE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HER FACE AND IN HER VOICE. ONE WAS VERY CLEAR FROM THE START SHE LOVED HER FAMILY. AS ADJUST TO RUTH ANN NOT BEING WITH US PHYSICALLY MAY WE ALWAYS REMEMBER SHE IS WITH US IN OUR HEARTS. MAY WE ALSO REMEMBER THAT GOD ALWAYS HAS HIS LOVING ARMS AROUND US, ESPECIALLY IN TIMES LIKE THIS. GOD BLESS ALL
