Don and Ruth were a big part of our and our children’s lives when we lived 2 houses down for a little over a decade. We kept in touch but it’s now been a while since we talked to Ruth. We’ll never forget taking her to Taco night at The Landing, and so many other times and stories. I’ll never forget one of our kids when she was able to read the “Elvis Lives” that was etched into a nearby sidewalk exclaiming “Ruth likes Elvis!” We are saddened, but know that she is happily singing to her hearts content now.
