So sorry to hear of Ruths passing. My condolences to the Hendrick Family and Bill and Linda.

I have nothing but fond memories of the four of you. I was lucky to have two of you in my classes. One of you married a former student of mine and one of you babysat my very young son. You shared caring committed parents. I admired them.

We were set back to hear the news of Ruth’s passing. Ruth was a wonderful cousin as we grew up on the farm. Ruth and Jean would bike back to the farm and would help Mom bake and make pies. I know she was a wonderful mother and grandmother and will be missed immensely. Our condolences to all the family.
