Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I will not be able to attend the service for Ruthie due to illness. Ruthie was a great gal. You never saw her depressed. She was always so upbeat and cheerful. Marie Gardner, Ermma Edwards, Ruthie and I played many bridge games together. Whenever their bridge group needed a sub, they always called me. They were a wonderful group. I shall always have fond memories of Ruthie and Harry. May God bless you. You are in my prayers.
Thinking of you all through this time. God bless.
Dear Laurie, I was so sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. She was a lovely woman who adored her family. It is always hard to lose a parent, and my thoughts and prayers will be with you. Sincerely, Jack Shellito
To Ruth’s family…. Ruth will be missed, she was a fun person to be around, always had a smile and was willing to help. She packed alot of living in 92 years. May God’s peace be with you.
So sorry to hear of your mothers passing. What a rich and wonderful life she lead. Your family is in my prayers.
To Laurie: Sincere condolences on your loss. I trust that your mom is now in a better place. We were at SE High together, and I recall that you were a cheerleader. Guess I was too shy to ever speak with you… I remember ‘admiring you from afar.’ Did you stay in Wichita? I’ve lived in Israel since 1978. May your mother rest in peace. Dave Alpern – Class of ’70
I am so sorry for your loss, but the goodness of your Mother will continue to live on in each of you. Your kindness, warmth and compassion, that you have always shown to others, is a testament to the values of your Father and Mother. As your grief subsides, you will be able to hear your Mother speaking to you everyday of you life. Listen to your heart and you will hear her. My deepest sympathies.
