RIP Great Aunt Ruthie. Give Uncle Eddie a hug for me. He was always so good to my mom Barbara Wamboldt. I remember how proud you were of him and how many trophies you showcased in your home. You were a special woman. I loved watching your video keepsake and thank you to your family for sharing this with all of us.
