Our heartfelt sympathies go out to all of you in the Howle family. We didn't know Ruth well, but what a fun loving, powerful woman she was...
We are so sorry for your loss. Memories of Ruth and Buddy go back as far as I can remember. They were unchanging. When we would see them at Kathy and Tressy's I would tease them about it. They built a great family and that's the best legacy. Joan and Brent
