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

[Jim Baumbach]

Jean, thank you for sharing the completion of Ruth's journey with us.  
As more and more of our wonderful colleagues complete their life 
journeys, it's so important to cherish those who are still with us as 
one day this magnificent blip in the history of humankind which gave its 
being to the world on behalf of others becomes a faded memory.

Peace be with you and John.

Jim and Alice Baumbach
