Our deepest sympathy to Dave and the family. We will always cherish the memories of the fun we had at Tropic Star, the dances,, donkey races, dinners and of course Ruth’s wonderful dinners. She will be missed by her family and friends more than we can imagine. Sorry we can’t be with you to celebrate Ruth’s life but we will be thinking of you all as we will be away. RIP Ruthie. - Posted by: Sue Heim/Don Reid (Friends) on: Nov 01, 2017
