Sumner,
I never got to meet Ruth, but knew just how much you loved and respected her by reading your posts. I don't know what to say, except I am happy that you got to spend so much time together when you went on your Sailing journey, as no one can take your memories away from you and hopefully they will bring a smile to you remembering those days. Ruth is a special person and is now in a special place.
Respectfully,
Tom G.
