My Great Aunt Ruth died last week. She lived a long and full life in her 88 years. My heart breaks for my Uncle Don and my cousins; they've lost so much - a wife, a mother, a grandmother. Somehow they're going to have to find the strength to go on without her.Ruth left us a wonderful legacy - through her example we all saw the importance of organization, dependability, helping others, and being true to one's self. I will always remember knowing that if Aunt Ruth could be the first woman to earn a Ph.D in chemistry from the college she attended back in the 40s, that I could achieve anything I wanted to. Thank you Aunt Ruth, you will be sorely missed.
I'm so sorry for your loss. She sounds like an amazing woman.

ReplyDeleteI'm so far behind on reading my blogs, but wanted to send my condolences on the loss of your great Aunt Ruth. I lost my aunt Ruth a little over a year ago. She was a special woman, also. Sending hugs.
