I went to Bingo last Saturday night, just force of habit after nearly two years of going up there with you. Remembered you teaching me all the bingo game variations, it was so complicated at first but you were a patient instructor even though It seemed like I would never figure out how to play all those games. Oh, and the night you won nearly $2,000, could not believe you won so much money-I hadn't even won once at that point. Everyone at Buckingham Bingo: Catalina, Mary, Cyd, Michelle, Lisa, Wendy, Kathy, Rosemary, Jeannette, sandy, Beverly, Deborah, Maddie, Sylvia, Pam and Pat, Maggie, the other Jackie, Julie, Bridget, Judy and all the Big Brother and Sisters staff were very sorry to hear you were gone, they will miss you and, of course, your Tootsie Pops.
All my cats and litters of kittens loved visiting with you and you helped me so much by 'sweetening' them up for their successful adoptions. All the folks at the Redondo Beach Pet. Co Kool Katz Rescue: Betsy, Rick, Elonne, Christine, and Maggie (who was also from Winnepeg and remembered you from church too) pass on their condolences to your daughter Paula. They all loved your visits there and your Tootsie Pops too. Of course the cat that will miss you the most is Mami aka Azule, the pretty Siamese mix who spent so many nights at your home and, much to your delight, would even sneak into your bed.
I'll miss you Ruthie and as you can see from the above, a lot of other folks will too, as well as one slightly cross-eyed cat.
