Our faith tells us she has moved on. Our hearts tell us she is gone. She is on her journey one we will all take. Not gone just here in her offspring and our memories. Look around. Wish her well on her journey for we will follow.
Best of love to the Donnelly family and friends.

Ruth was one of the most amazing women I have ever met. She was the matriarch of an incredible family who, despite being a Hoosier and a San Francisco Giants fan, welcomed me into their family many years ago. I am grateful to be an honorary Donnelly. Heaven certainly gained another angel. RIP, Ruth. You will be missed.
