As a young staff member at Eliada, I was so impressed with Aunt Ruth. Although she had many disabilities, she was more active than people half her age, and always had a kind word or work for those around her. She grew to be a good friend. She was an inspiration to me, a real example of Christ's love in action. Never a complaint, always ready to share with and love others. We shared many wonderful times together. We will miss our annual Christmas party with her. It grew out of her service to a disabled friend with no family and over the years dwindled down to a small pizza party with decorations and gifts for just her in her small room at the assisted living center. Yet she always had a gift for us! Always thinking of others. A very special lady!
