Ruth Ann and I were the same age. She stayed with us for a short time when her Mother passed on. We had a lot of fun playing withpaper dolls that we cut out of the Sunday newspaper, playing school,, making snow angels in the snow. She missed her siblings and was reallygladwheshe get to go back home. We went to St. Elizabeth School of Nursing togeter. We shared the same dorm room with two other girls. We had fun but a lot of studying to and work in the hospital. The hardest part was all the time spent studying Anatomy and having to know all the bones and nerves in the body.. I am going to try to post a picture of the four of us acting silly before Ruth Ann decided to leave and get married. Ruth Ann is the smallest one.
Our hearts ache for you. If there is anything we can do let us know. May peace find its way into your hearts. Peace be with you. Ruth and Bob Hansen
