My Aunt Ruth was so kind and loving. She was never without a smile, even when I was being the incorrigible child I was. She was never cross with me. Our last time together, having breakfast at First Watch in April’22 will remain among my fondest memories. Aunt Ruth had a warm and beautiful spirit and I was blessed to know her as family.
