To the Collins Family-
I really enjoyed looking after Ruthie at Cedarwood. She was full of funny things to say and even got me to eat some of her Jello one day while Johnny was visiting. I will surely missed that crazy gal. Heidi Marquess

To the family of Ruth -
Say not, in grief, that she has gone,
But give thanks that she was yours.

I admired Ruth for her courage and strength more than words will ever be able to express.
