Aunt Ruth was a GIVER. When we were children she was always taking us some place. We just told her where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do off we would go. Sleepovers, swimming, movies and out for pizza even when she knew her stomach would pay the price later. I have way to many happy memories to list and I thank her for each and everyone of them. THANK YOU Aunt Ruth!! You are loved and will be greatly missed. Dana (Tyree) Sichmeller – Loving niece
