    Sad but glad that Ruth has gotten to her reward.
    I worked with her for 13 years and we shared a lot of glad and sad times.
    Most important to her was her Faith in God and her family. Especially all the grandkids that only called her Granny.
    I know she will be missed, but God probably needs another manager to keep things in line.
    Rest in peace, Ruth.
