In loving memory of my dearest Aunt Ruth, first sister of my Dad Vic Hardt. To Ron and Carol and Ken I send special loving greetings from 'cousin Jim' on this event of your Mother's passing. My heart goes out to you and all Ruth's grandchildren and In-laws. God Bless Ruth Clara (Hardt)Hochsprung.
I'm in Victoria, British Columbia
Canada leading a group Alpha Brain
Wave training that starts March 23 and runs for 7 consecutive days, so
as much as I want to be there to pay my respects to beloved Aunt Ruth and to see all my dear family who are attending, alas I cannot come. Please send me names and addresses and phone numbers for all who attend, because I have a gift I'd like to send each one in memory of beloved Aunt Ruth.
With love and blessings,
Jim

I work at White Oaks, where Ruth stayed until her passing. I just started working there a month ago, but I got a good attachment to the residents I worked with, even Ruth. She was a very sweet lady. I'll miss her for sure. My thoughts go out to Ruth's wonderful family.
