I met Ruth almost as soon as I met Bill and that was saying alot since Bill lived in CA and Ruth in NJ. But Ruth had come to CA to see her son and Bill and I had been dating about 6 months so Bill thought it would be nice to meet "mom". Ruth and I got a long right a way and had fun talking and getting to know each other. Ruth was a great letter writer and I even got mail before Bill and I were married. She was a wonderful, supportive mother in law and a friend. Even though her "grandchildren" lived 3000 miles away they never felt the distance because "Grandma Murray" always remember every occassion with a card, her cute notes and sometimes a box with goodies in it. The kids and Bill and I always knew she was with us in thought and love and celebrated each holiday, birthday etc with us. We will truly miss her.
