Ruth was one of the first people to befriend Mother, Peggy Greenspan, when she moved in to Brookdale. I was honored to know Ruth when she worked for Daddy. I was in college majoring in Accounting and she taught me so much!!!! What a grand lady Ruth was!! She was incredibly kind and level-headed. I know her loving soul will be missed.

Mrs Dubose was my Mom's table mate at Dowlen Oaks. I requested someone to sit with her that Iiked to talk bc my Mom (Irene) is quiet and I thought it would be good for her. Mrs Dubose volunteered and she did just what I wanted, she kept my mom company and entertained her. She also watched out for her and the other lady at the table. I enjoyed talking to her when I visited at lunch or dinner. She will be missed. God bless her and her children. She spoke of you often.

David and Penny....I enjoyed your mom when we worked together with Arthur Greenspan. I hope she always remembered that I called her Caldonia, a fun one she liked being called. I would like hear from you "kids" and to get caught up. Please accept my condolences upon your loss.
