Tracy and Perry
I am so sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. I have such fond memories of her working at Ross' store. Always a good giggle and maybe even some great food advice to be had while shopping. I, for one, will remember and think of your mother EVERY CHRISTMAS when I take out that well used recipe card titled “Ruth Grein's Poppycock”! Truly a crowd pleaser and an absolute staple at Christmas time at my house! My sympathy to you all…I know that you will miss her a lot!
Sorry for your loss. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
