Dear Norma, Jaime and Jordan. It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to Aunty Ruth. She was always very lovely and kind to me and her joy for life was contagious. Aunty Ruth was never really one to sit for long, and I am so happy for her that she was brave enough to explore the world on her own and was always up for an adventure. Our sincere condolences to your family. Love Bryanne, Rob, Chloe and Bryce

Hi Norma and family, it was a pleasure to work with your mom Ruth at Beltone. I'm glad I was able to meet her, she was a lovely lady, and I am hopeful that the hearing she got from her hearing aids during the last few months made them memorable months for her. She will be missed dearly!
