Elaine,Jean and Butch, my deepest condolences to all of you and your families in Ruth's passing. I will remember her always from all my time spent coming into the store. I find it comforting knowing that she is back with Delmar and her mother Gert. When having a hard day just remember all the great memories and keep them close to help you through. If there is anything I can do please let me know. My love and hugs to all of you. Mary Keuler

Spent many a day at your place when we were younger, and your mother, along with the other moms in the neighborhood(Anna Rae, Elaine and Joanne) just let us be and let us do our thing-whatever that was. They were not helicopter moms! RIP Ruth and thanks for taking the big splinter out from under my fingernail!!
