So sorry for your loss
Ruchie and I were besties in 8th grade…though we lost touch I never stopped loving her!! I have so many fun memories. My deepest condolences to Scott and her family.
My prayers are with her family. She & her brother”Stratton” are again together as brother & sister to watch over their loved ones.
Tina and I were good friends during high school!! Remember so many fun times with her and Ruth at their home in Shadyside. My prayers go out to all Ruth’s family.
Remember Ruthie and Tina as young girls attending Riverview Bible Church and picking them up to go to church. Tina, if you remember me, I know you have fond memories of Ruthie and I pray you ask your GOD for comfort in this time of sorrow. How quickly the years have gone by…seems like yesterday you girls were riding in the backseat, giggling, going to church.
So sorry to hear this. At one time Ruthie and I were very close. We had lots of good times together. May she RIP
