    Dear Jeff & Greg, I was sorry to read of your mother's passing. I'm also very sorry that I will be unble to attend her memorial service tomorrow, but I will be with you in prayer. Fred is buried in Gypsum Hill, so on my next visit there I will find her resting place. Your mother and I were good friends for a number of years, and I missed her when she moved to Hutchinson, but that was for the best. As you know, your mother was devoted to her faith and her church. I know that when it was time for her to leave this earth she was well prepared and ready to go. Sincerely, Pat Salem-Wilkinson

    Dear Jeff and Greg, We were saddened to hear of the passing of your mother. She was an angel on earth. Bill enjoyed her as a neighbor on Roberts Street, and we loved visiting with her at McDonald's. She was so proud of you boys. We regret that we cannot attend Ruth's memorial service today as we are out of town. We have remembered her with a memorial to the Ronald McDonald House in Wichita. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. With Deepest Sympathy, Bill and Brenda Cotter

    Dear Jeff, Greg and family, My folks here in Hutch had given me the news upon my arrival from working away. I immediately started thinking about the good times playing foosball in the basement, the times we had in high school band and playing baseball for Exchange. Your mothers love and support that she had for you did not go unnoticed by me or by others. My message to all concerned and to Mrs. Pelischek as I know she is listening; What a Job so Beautifully Well Done God Bless you all
