Grandma Ruth you was a wonderful person, When we all lived in southside bottoms you treated me as one of your own grandkids. I wish there was more women like you. I will never forget you always getting on Danny or JD for something. You will be missed.

Even though she wasn't my blood grandma she called me her grandson and from the moment I met her 27 years ago she also treated me like one. She was always ready and willing to listen and offer advice. I will miss all the laughs we used to have. She touched so many lives she will be missed by all.
