    Oh Rtuh, I'm so sorry. Haven't heard much from you lately and I was wondering how your mom was doing. I know she was a great inspiration to you.

    She serves as a role model for all of us that are following are dreams and out there enjoying our sports. She was and still is the original tough chick...in a small, fiesty package.

    OMG! Ruth, I'm sorry to hear this news

    YOur mom sounded like one amazing woman. I remember you telling us about her fight and how long she fought for. Her spirits were raised by the messages we sent on.

    You're a wonderful daughter and she loved you dearly. May you cherish the memories of a strong woman who fought until she could no more.

    Take care of yourself & your family.

    I know i'm in a far away country but if you need anything, let me know.

    Ruth, I'm so saddened to hear of your mom's passing!! From all you told us about her, she seemed like the most amazing woman! We're here for you should you need us for ANYTHING! We're the shoulders you can cry on and we'll listen when you need to talk.
    All my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

    I lost my mother last year, my thoughts are with you. She was lucky to have you, and it reflects on what a wonderful mother she must have been to raise such a loving daughter.
