I had planned to visit here this evening but at least I hope she got my little note. When I think I Midge I think of all the beautiful flowere she and Stan grew when they were in Greenfield.
With Deepest Sympathy, Bea

October 4, 2013 at 9:42 amSo sorry to hear of Ruth’s passing. I got to know her and Stanley quite well when I worked to Superstore in Liverpool. Always a quick smile and hug from both of them. You both are dearly missed by me. I loved Stanley’s tomatoes which I enjoyed in the summer and I will sorely miss the hugs from Ruth. I know you are together again and I will miss you. God has you in his hands, I have you in my heart.
