So sorry to hear of Ruthanne's passing. She was so very nice years back to take in a long-haired orange and white kitty that was no one else would adopt, and give her, as she gave other ones, a good home for as long as they lived. Her kindness was so appreciated. Thank you, Ruthanne.

I enjoyed the chat that I had had with Ruth a few days before her passing. She showed a great deal of courage and acceptance of her state of health. I told her that she should not distress because as long as God is on the throne everything will be alright. I think that those last few words helped her. I am so sorry as to your loss.
