To my dear cousins and their family, always know how special and dear Aunt Ruthie was to the boys and myself. She was a loving aunt and as the boys say a cool great aunt and she was a special aunt to Jim as she was his godmother. May she be in peace in the hereafter with Uncle Quin now.
Our prayers are with you all always Missy (Wharton, NJ)

To the QUINTANA FAMILY. I worked with Ruth for several years at the Marine Corps Exchange. I loved her very much. I left the Exchange and went to Civil Service. She was the only co-worker that would acknowledge me when I went shopping there and she always asked my friends that worked there how I was doing. I am sorry that I did not make the viewing, and now the funeral as I just got the word. May God Be with You through these times, and know that she is now with her husband and friends that went before her. NO MORE SUFFERING. I lost my husband 3 years ago now, and it is still very difficult without him. I am sure he will be by her side too. We always had fun at work. Joyce Bentle

Ken, Diane and I are so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. We're all lucky to have our parents into our own middle age--Diane and I lost our fathers and her mother years ago. I hope you cherish the time you had with her and wish you and your family peace and comfort in the days and weeks ahead. Larry and Diane
