Dear Ruthie,
What a life. I know that no matter how long our parents are with us, when they leave, it is always too soon.
I never had the good fortune to have met your mother, but I certainly have enjoyed knowing you, and surely much of her is in you.
May you find comfort in knowing that her memory is forever.
My love and sympathy to you, my old camp friend.
Love,
Jill
