[Oe List ...] Completed Life of Ruth Kloepfer

[Charles or Doris Hahn]

Jean and John,

What a wonder of a saint Ruth was.  I remember so well
being welcomed into her home when I was in New Orleans
for some kind of Area or Regional gathering, and
another time when I was on a development trip.  You
always knew that care-filled hands were embracing you
when you were around Ruth---whether it was at a
Research Assembly, an Area Council or a simple casual
conversation.  We celebrate Ruth's faithful life, and
keep all of you in our consciousness.
