Helen and Hope,
I can't express in words how much it ment to all of us nieces and nephews knowing that you were Always there for our Favorite Aunt, a very Sincere Loving Thank You. Not to diminish the value of the other Aunts and Uncles, All, from whom I learned parts of my entire value system from. Aunt Ruth was special to all of us, she was the spoiler, never having children biologically we were all her "Children's". She treated us all her own and them some. We all have our own personal stories that we shared with Aunt Ruth, mine included a cap gun, which exhibited her most kind and gentle caring side and her Lt Commander side. I feel especially fortunate for having her in my life as I had a period of time in my life to spend more time with her after her retirement and get to know the real Ruth " Minnie". She was truely a special person and we are all Lucky to have had her in her life. I can tell all the cousins, Nieces and Nephews that she Loved all of us in a very special way and she would have wanted allnof us to know that. I can say for myself that my life would be very different without her in it and we are very blessed to have know her as we did.
Aunt Ruth a piece of you will forever live on in us and in our (your) children and grandchildren.
Love, All your Special Niece's and Nephew's.

To Helen and Spence Nelson,
Am so saddened to hear about Aunt Ruth. Know she loved you all and I know you loved her. Wanted to see her so much but was never able to get there. She is the last of my family I have loved since childhood. My comfort is to know how much you and Spence loved her and took care of her and was there for her. Have thought about Aunt Ruth and you all, more often than you would believe. As Mom and Dad used to say about folks like you, there will be extra stars in your crowns when the time comes.
God made a lot of wonderful people in Aunt Ruth's generation, there won't be many others after and few like her. Have talked to her many times in my heart and thanked her for all the wonderful things she taught and did for me and Mom and Dad. They loved her too! You don't know how much I wanted to be able to be there for her.
Know she is a bright light for many, many others. Lots of stars in her crown too!
God brings you comfort and blessing to your life for all that you have given in love, friendship and service.
God holds you in your time of grief and lets it gently turn to joy as you remember your times together, friendship and love.
Sincerely
Vicki Williamson
