Ruth, you are our queen of the pool crew at jellie park. The serious `we will fix the world conversations,´we were going to take on the government!!! The jokes and utter nonsense we shared will last forever in our hearts. Rest easy our friend you are out of pain, and you had your angel wings long before you left this world for the next. Condolences to Mike and the family. RIP forever loved
