Thank you for your kind words KC, Ruth was an inspiration to us all.
there`s nothing I could say that would be enough to show how good a person/mother/sister/friend
Ruth was a fighter, a poet, storyteller, teacher, she also narrated books for the blind.
Richie is devastated as she was his life`s work as carer, Nick held his Mam in high esteem always
Ruth kept Jonny in Uni on a shoestring til he was 23, then he gave back to Ruth, bought her a house 20mins after she said it was *The One* her friends gave her the opportunity to meet
Elijah Wood whom she loved with her last breath....Ruth will be more than sadly missed.

Ruth Marie Thomas taught us all to love love itself.

Very well said, KC. I remember that adventure as told by you and her so clearly. I hope I said thank you back then, if not I'm saying it now.

Good to see you posting again; hope to see more of you!

Wonderfully said, KC, I've often thought that your work getting Ru to collectormania was one of the most wonderful things I've ever heard of anyone doing for another person. Ru was one of a kind, she will be greatly missed.

That was a group effort. no way I could have pulled that off by myself without Lady Sunrope and Salogel.
