My sympathies to the family as you grieve this loss. Ruthi managed the computer lab at LMCMS. She was always helpful, pleasant and personable. She had a quiet laugh and enjoyed witty humor so I tried to have a joke or quip to share when I saw her. I am sure she will be greatly missed and equally sure she is welcomed joyously in her new home!

Hey Pat, I´m so sorry to hear about your loss. I am back in town, and would love to visit with you. Ruthie was such a wonderful person to know, as you are, and I´m sorry that I missed the memorial. My thoughts are with you. I will try to contact you soon.

We are so sad about Ruthi. She was always such a delightful friend. //Dana is in Europe on vacation and Tracy is camping with girlfriends and I am sick and unable to come to the Celebration of Life. We all send our love to you, Pat and Bethi as you continue on. We so appreciated seeing Ruthi at Debbi Beene's Celebration and had a wonderful time catching up with her. May Ruthi rest in peace

Bethi and family,
My sincere condolences on the untimely passing of your mom.
Bethi, I was so shocked to hear of this especially since we´ve all just been together at Mr. Kubota`s funeral.
May wonderful memories sustain you and the entire family in the days ahead
