I just found out about Ruth's passing. She was my dear friend here @ the Loftin @ Montcross Senior apts. I was blessed to meet her back in Nov/Dec in our bldg.'s community room @ one of our events @ which time we exchanged phone #s. She called me the other week & we were planning to have lunch outside of her bldg. when the weather got cooler! I loved her so much & always ended our conversation w/those words when I would call her or she would call me. My thoughts & prayers r w/her family! Love, Sarah Withrow Duncan
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
