I’ve heard so much about you from Eileen. Even though we’ve never met, I feel I already know you.
You will never be forgotten and I’m sure you are shaking your head, and laughing, at all the crazy things your daughter and me have experienced the past few years, especially on our recent trip to Gaylords.
What time I spent with Ruth was during extended family gatherings often for holidays like Thanksgiving. Always good for a laugh and always sociable in nature. Speaking well and proudly of her children and adoring the grandchildren I knew of...Dawn and Paul. There is no way to fill the hole left by the absence of a parent, no matter the circumstances. Only in death does it bring more a of a finality that can't be explained to anyone until you experience that loss in your own right. It is memories, both good and bad, that we keep that spirit alive within us and hope that we can pass that on to those that have been left behind. The stories, the laughter and yes, even the tears. That Ruth is loved and missed is obvious to those that know Eileen, her children and grandchildren. So pass those stories and share the love you have and one day you will know the peace and joy that she shares with Our Father each and everyday.
How beautiful Eileen, I remember her so well! She could make us laugh and she could makes us cry,too...usually because we deserved it.... :-). I can relate so well to how you feel, I miss my Mom each and everyday too especially when I need to hear her tell me everything is going to be alright and give me the hug, those hugs as only a mother can....
I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but from what I’ve heard about you from family, friends and the pictures I’ve seen, it's obvious that you were a beautiful woman inside and out. I feel so blessed to have re-met your daughter, Eileen, and I can see where she gets her beauty and caring personality!! As you already know, I was lucky enough to have married Eileen and I promise you that I will take care of her. We talk about you all the time. She misses you so much and even though I try to comfort her, I could never give her the same comfort and security she got from you, her MOM!! I’m sure you are keeping an eye on us and laughing at some of the crazy things we do. One day I will have the opportunity to meet you. Oh yes, I’m sorry she didn’t find someone with a better last name!!! Love, Lee

I know you are at peace now and watching over us.
Happy birthday to a special lady!!!

Whereever she went people just fell in love with her.
She was friendly, loving and always smiled at people,
AND she always talked about her kids.
Every time I met someone she would say, Oh, your Mom talks about you all the time. You get her all those cool purses!
She was always helping people, but most of all she was the one person in the world that I knew would always be there for me.
She was the one person in the world that I knew = no matter what, I was loved.
I ache for that feeling again.
What mattered most in her life was her family. She loved us more than life, she loved her grandkids and her great-grandkids.
She always dressed beautifully and had a sparkle in her eyes that attracted people wherever she went.
She was my Mom.
I miss her so much and wish I could hug her one more time. I wish I could say "MOM" one more time. I wish I could hear her say my name one more time.
