My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
My thoughts and prayers to all of you at this time. I have such fond membories of Ruthann during her years at School District 70. As an active member of PCTA, Ruthann was a real go getter. Her infectious smile and laughter were always appreciated. May the memories of the good times together as a family give all of you peace. May God wrap His arms around all of you and give you the graces you need to say farewell to your beloved Ruthann. She will be missed by many.
