We will miss my Mom’s smiling face. Condolences and prayers for the family. We appreciate the 96 years that we had her with us. She was able to handle her Alzheimers with dignity and also feeling blessed that she did so well in the Memory Unit at Sherbrook Nursing Home.
We will miss Mom so much, but feel blessed we had her for 96 years. Hard to believe I won’t see her smiling face anymore when doing window visits at her nursing home. Hope she is now reunited with my Dad in heaven! Rest In Peace, Mom. Love you.
Dear Sue, Terry, and Tom,
I’m very sorry for the passing of your mother. It’s terrible she caught COVID at the nursing home. I’ve known Aunt Ruth since I was a young boy and she was always very special. I often visited her when I visited my parents in St Louis. We exchanged Christmas cards for many years. Since my mother (Myrtle) also had Alzheimer’s, we share that bad gene, but we also share good genes for a long life. I am making a contribution to “Cure Alzheimer’s Fund “ in her honor. All money goes to research grants to find a cure.
Love, Carl & Dolores Meyer
