There are no words but know I am thinking of you and your family. I don't care how old you are there is no preparation for losing your Mother.  Take one day at a time and be kind to yourself.  Your Mother is with The Lord and she is always with you. Yolanda Gonzales, Placentia CA

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

Thinking of your family and the sister-in-law that grandma loved dearly.

We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers for peace and comfort. Ruth was blessed with a husband and family and friends whom she cherished in her long life. May those blessings sustain you now.

Stephanie, Bruce, Amber, Eric, Courtney, Josh, Abigail, Aubrey, Kathy and Richard. Kind words and acts of generosity sustained us during the loss of Dad/Grandpa. The same will be true for Mom/Grandma. She truly loved and cherished all of you and her passing will be leave a hole in our hearts that can not be filled. But you will be comforted by your memories and sweet stories of your life with your Mom/Grandma. We are all going to miss her and Ernie/Dad/Poppa and I are both sorry our family has to go through this. But with love and support for each other, we can become strengthened just by having had Grandma/Mom as part of our lives. Mom/Vicki and Dad/Ernie

Stephanie Amber, Courtney, Josh, Abby and Aubrey ....  We are so sorry Grandma died and know you will miss her.  She was a great Grandmother to you all ....   Aunt Kathy & Uncle Richard

A limb has fallen from your family tree.  I keep hearing a voice that says, "Grieve not for me".. Remember the best times, the laughter, the song.  The good life lived while I was strong.  Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you.  Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.  My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.  Remembering all, how I truly was blessed.  Continue traditions, no matter how small.  Go on with your life, don't worry about falls.. I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin, Until the day comes we're together again"...
I love this poem.. I'm sure Ruth would have too.  We have lost a wonderful lady here on this earth.. I'm sure she is celebrating her life and homecoming!  I was blessed to have known her!

May Ruth rest in peace.  I will miss her so much.  She was full of life and surely brought joy to mine.

What a wonderful family! We lived on the same street two houses down from Ruth, Steve, Kathy and Vicki.  Kathy and I were born 7 days apart and our Daddies both worked for the Santa Fe railroad.  Steve was promoted and the family moved to Albuquerque the year Kathy was to be a senior in High School.  We have stayed in contact and I know I felt like part of the Stephenson family all these years.  Ruth was almost a second Mother to me.  She was such a good Mother.  I know how much she loved her family.  She was an excellent cook and seemed always to have such a wonderful way about her.  I never heard her complain or be disagreeable.  I will miss her just as I miss my own Mother.  She had a deep faith and calm assurance. I know she will be in Heaven waiting for us.

Time and distance might have existed, but any time we got to see or talk with Aunt Ruth, it all evaporated.  Her spirit sparkled through the phone lines and time stood still.  No one will ever forget her laughter.  We're each glad to be one of the 'cousins' to carry on and be family.  We love you all.

Mom and Kathy: I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother.

Ruth had a sense of humor.  Ruth and Kathy's dad traveled a bit.  To play a trick on Kathy  Ruth sent me a post card from her travels and nothing to Kathy.  She hardly knew me but thought it was funny.    Kathy always wondered "What the Heck mom?"  I know I still have that card somewhere.  Rest in Peace Ruth and thank you.   Debbie Brown
