My father, Chief Justice Carleton Harris, died in 1980, but even today I recall the admiration and respect he and the other members of the Court felt for Ruth. Please accept my sympathy for your loss.

Carol and Andy---We mourn your loss with you---Remember, if you can, that Aunt Ruth went to sleep yesterday afternoon and woke up riding her bike wherever she wants to ride it, and delving into the mysteries of medicine when she decides to take a rest----You are on our minds and in our hearts, especially at this sad time for you---We love you--

Leave your Condolence
