Great Grandma Ruthie was the best! Not everyone has the privilege of knowing and spending time with her great grandma for 9 years. Her sweet voice saying to Colleen well “Little Darhhhling” we just love you so much is something we will never forget and cherish forever. Our hearts are broken but thinking of her just brings a smile to our face. Our prayers are with all of the family as you deal with this loss – “Uncle Bob” especially you!
