My Aunt Ruth was my favorite aunt! I remember when I was 15 years old she came to visit my parents and taught me to dance in our kitchen! I got to really know her the last 15 years of her life! She stayed at my home in Florida waiting for a holiday on a cruise! After that I visited her in London many times! Once in Forest also! She passed along to me many family stories I loved hearing! She will be missed and loved in my heart forever! Love, Hazel Marie, as I was always known to her!
To Susan – Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mom. She was such a lovely person! My caring thoughts are with you and your family. Blessings . . . Norma
Mom, words are so difficult at this time, but you know how much you were loved. I will miss your love, guidance, your smiles and support. Just know that you held on just long enough for God to prepare that special room for you where your loved ones are waiting for you with open arms. You have always been, and I expect will continue to be, my guardian angel. Thank you for everything. Susan
Ruth Taylor was the greatest of grandparents. She imparted much wisdom to me that helped me become the man I am today. She will live forever in my fond memories.
I will miss you Gran.
Mum, Norma and I will miss you so very much. You had so many obstacles put in your way all through your life and it was marvelous how you overcame them. Thank you for all the love and guidance that allowed us to live a good life and raise three wonderful sons. We will always remember. Norma and Jim
Auntie, Words cannot explain how I feel hearing of your passing. My heart is so broken because I never got the chance to see you and tell you how much I love you. I spent years trying to find you and the kids but, had no luck. Now by the grace of god I found Susan and thought I was finally going to see you but,it was too late. You will be in a better place and with the ones you love. R.I.P Auntie. I will always love you
Grandma, I love you so much. You taught me life lessons I still remember to this day. Lucas and Katy were so lucky to be able to spend so much time with you. We are going to miss you so much.
My condolences to Susan & Tracy & families . Sending thoughts & hugs . I know how close you all were and that Ruth will be missed very much. Love to all.
Aunt Ruth was an icon. A gracious lady who loved to have fun who was always fun to be around. She loved everyone and everyone loved her. And she knew us all by name. We sure do miss her! Sending the family love and hugs!
