Dear Ruth Ann It has been a long time – I have currently moved back to Wooster. I was saddened to read about the loss of your husband. I read that he had been in Hospice Care. I pray that his suffering was not a long period. I hope you and your daughter Nicole ( this is my daughter’s name, also) will find comfort and peace in your Faith, Family and Friends. Before COV19 I had made plans to contact everyone I could and have a type of Beauty Center Reunion. I have 53 addresses, sad to say I didn’t have yours. This is not the way I like to contact friends – BUT—3303455577. Take Care and God Bless YOU and YOURS. Shirley
It was with great regret that I couldn’t get back to Wooster at Roger’s passing, but I
will remember my last visit shortly before he passed away and I am glad of that. God Bless
you Ruthie and Nicole. May God keep you and protect you both. Dom
I am very pleased I was able to visit Roger before his passing. So many years have gone by and so many miles apart.
May God keep you and protect you Ruthie and Nicole, which I truly believe He will. Put your faith in Him. Dom
