We were saddened to learn of Ruth’s passing and offer our sincere condolences.
The sadness of losing another member of our tiny family can not be expressed . My sincere condolences go out to the Petrik children and to my Uncle Joe, and to her sisters and family she left behind. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers as this day progresses. I love you my Aunt Ruth, I loved your stamina for giving it your all, for holding steadfast to what you believed in, and for tending to your family; as a the dutiful wife and mother that you were. I can’t believe I will never see your sweet face again! I am truly sorry for our loss of you. I will hold you, and our last visit, and our last hugs and kisses, in my thoughts forever. R.I.P Dear Aunt Ruth.
Very sad to hear of Ruth’s passing. Sincere condolences to my cousin Joe and his grieving family.
