Bob & Tom (and all your family) — My condolences on the loss of your mother. I hope you have sweet memories to sustain you.
Ruth’s Family I wanted to let you know how much I loved Ruthie. She volunteered at St. Luke’s in the chart prep office, where I worked. Ruthie and I became good friends, and she worked so hard making sure every chart was stickered ready for the next days Surgery. We would have over 90 charts, and if not for Ruthie, I would have spent so many hours working overtime to get the work she did done. Ruthie, may Peace be with you and your family today and always. Love, Cathy Mineck
