Not a kinder and more generous spirit could God make. She was fearless in the most gentle of ways. Did she ever see a person she was afraid to talk with?....stranger, colleague, bank president, FAMOUS card player in Vegas! LOL No. Everyone was fair game to her charm. I met her at the bank where I was employed when she accepted a management position there. It immediately seemed we had known each other forever...but I soon learned that was her way. Honest, calm, unafraid. Yet, Ruth was no fool... she could sense those that were dishonest of spirit and she'd avoid them rather than confront. I never saw her get angry or rude with anyone. I am honored to be her friend. And now I wait and hope she'll put in a good word for me with God, who I believe is equally charmed... after all, He made her - He made her perfectly.... and He knows we all miss her horribly. See you one day soon Ruthie....
