I can hear her voice and laughter in my head& know they're all together now and enjoying that's what I sincerely believe. I'm sure you all do too.

Tammy, Mark and Michael, I have so many great and happy thoughts about your Mom. Even before you guys came around. We always were excited to get her Christmas gifts because both how thouythey were and because no one else wrapped them so nicely. I really loved your Mom, partly because of how great she made Mom feel but also because her humor and laughter was so infectious. She survived so many painful times with unbounded optimism. A wonderful example for everyone who knew her. She is so happy now to be reuywith Grampy and Grandma, and her two sisters. She was a lucky lady, and we were lucky to have her as Aunt Ruth. A true Delight.

Tammy,
Thanks for staying in touch.

Aunt Ruth was a favorite person to me. When Mom and I would go to Belle Plaine, knowing Ruth was going to be there made everything complete. When those three girls were together❤, you could count on laughter.

We enjoyed sharing the guest house in the south of town at Art and Julia's 50th anniversary.

Ruth thanks for sharing yourself with us. I will both miss and remember you.

Dear Ruth, I never met you but knew about you because your daughter Tammy, one of my dearest friends, told me all about you. She loved you so and was there for you to make you comfortable in your twilight years. Your family will miss you very much. Love, Heidi

Aunt Ruth was the best! Her smile was infectious and her energy was unmatched. I loved the interchange between Ruth, Julia, and Lois. The three were devoted sisters. My favorite memories include the Mikita visits to Belle Plaine to be with family. We played cards, golfed, and cooked yummy meals. Aunt Ruth was one of the sweetest persons I've ever known. She has been a Riherd treasure. My sincere condolences to the family. Love, Mary Riherd
