We had the pleasure of meeting Ruth and Bud so many years ago, when Carol joined our family. Ruth was an extremely beautiful lady, who's heart and soul was filled with loving family and friends.

Her infectious smile warmed your heart, and she made you smile and laugh along with her. She will forever be in our hearts and truly missed. Our sympathies to Steve, Joyce, Shelly, Randy and our niece Carol and nephew Dario, as well as all her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. All our love, Aldo and Lina, Mara and family
