Pam, Bonnie, Dave and Danny, Shocked to hear of your mom's passing. I stopped over to ask her something not long ago when I was in Wintersville and chatted for a few. I remember the many days I spent at your house. I remember her cooking and the time she pierced my ears, loaning me her good gold hoops until they healed and I could get my own pair. She will be sadly missed. My prayers are with you. - Tamara Hritz Dye

Dear Bonni & Family, your Mom and Dad were always the greatest. I loved them dearly, Ruth took such great care of my Grandma and my Dad was so very grateful. There is a very special place in Heaven for Ruth she had a heart as big as the moon and with a smile that said I'm here if you need me, and she always was. She was a great cook and always made me smile. I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss, its so hard to give them up, but remember you can never take away the memories, and days that is hard close your eyes and think of one of your favorite times with her and you will have the biggest smile on your face. John F. Kennedy wrote: I am certain that after the dust of centuries has passed over our cities, we too will be remembered not for our victories or defeats, but for our contributions to the human spirits , and Ruth did that and more, know my heart is with you and the family at this most difficult time and know I know how you feel. I will keep you in my prayers always. Love you Sharon

Dave, Pam, Bonnie and Danny, I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. I can close my eyes and the great memories just come rushing to my mind of being in your house sharing time with Ruth. Those experiences and the love your parents showed to me impacted my life. My wife just lost her mother one week ago so I know the sorrow that you're feeling. I pray that God helps you find peace and comfort in this difficult time. I'm so sorry that I am unable to get to Wintersville to offer my condolences in person. Please let me know if I can help you in any way. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am very sad to learn of Ruth's death. She and Pete were the kindest and most thoughtful people I have ever known. When I think of them and remember them, I can always see them smiling.I could always see that they were very much in love and that their love of life and people was the very incarnation of what is a "good neighbor". Your Mom and Dad were special and their kindness to me and my family will always be remembered . I pray that now that they are together again in God's home, that their love can again know no bounds. My Mother was also sad to hear of Ruth's death. She is 97 but still remembers your folks fondly and sends her prayers.
