Ruth, There's never a good time. Take comfort in those who care about you and keep those memories close. John & Audrey

We just found out about the passing of your mother. After reading the messages it is apparent you had a good mother! God blesses us with memories, cherish them and share them with her grandchildren. May God ease the pain during this time. We will be praying for all of you.

Our deepest sympathy to Lillian's family and especially her daughter, Ruth. Lillian must have been a beloved mother and a very caring person because we find her daughter to be a woman of unmeasurable love and acceptance. Our prayers are with your family. We trust the days ahead will bring many happy memories that you shared together.

Mrs. Hoyt always made me feel welcome whenever I was at the Hoyt's. She and my mother attended Girl Scout leader training together before Ruth and I became friends. I know they marveled at the coincidence of this fact. She will be greatly missed.

I enjoyed meeting such a lovely woman. Her strength was amazing and she shared so much with all. I am glad I got to meet her. Mary Jo

Ruth, Today my heart stood still and ached as a I read the news of your Mom's passing. We are all thinking about you and your family during this time and hope you are comforted. I am amazed by what you said about her passing on Easter Sunday. Ruth, it does'nt get any better than that! Truly amazing! That in and of itself is something real special and a gift from her to you. May God bless you and your family. Ben Pena, Mission, TX

Losing your Mother is like nothing else we are asked to do. I simply want to send my love to a family I will never know, but share knowledge of your experience. Ruth shared that her Mother was born and died on Easter. Wow. Ruth is a beautiful and gifted person. I am so happy to know her. Blessings, Jan Hunt

Ruth, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Dear Ruth, Although there is little consolation in a note, but we want you to know that our thoughts and prayer are with you at this sad time. We know that nothing we can write can dull your sorrow, with the lost of your beloved mother( Lillian) Only time can healed your sorrow....and it will! Death is a part of life. It is the last stage of living. By completing the process that began at birth, a person's death make her/his life whole.The acceptance of death does not mean that the loved one is forgotten.It means that we have the humility of letting go the precious thing in life and go on with our lives.Let the thoughts of time well spent with your Mom be your consolation now.Pray in your own way, according to your own understanding, for God heeds and respects all languages of the human heart. Please accept our sincere condolences,our love and heartfelt sympathy. Respectfull, Twan & Lien Tjoa

Ruth may you find comfort in the Lord and may you find peace knowing you were able to be with her at her time of need. God Bless.......... Victor, Belinda, Danielle and Gavin

My heart, thoughts and prayers are with you Ruth. I will always remember the last few months I spent with my dad, as you did with your mom, in a caring and warm way. I felt very fortunate that we had that time to say good-bye and that I was given the opportunity to help take care of him and keep him at home. I will always treasure it. In this regard, I identify with you and your mom and immediate family. I have thought of you and your family often this past year. Take good care Ruth. May God bless you and yours. JM

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. May you find comfort in knowing that she is now at home in a place where she will no longer be in pain. Smile when you see her favorite flowers blooming because you know how much she enjoyed her gardening and her family.

Remembering Aunt Lillian When I think of my Aunt Lillian, I see her smiling; I feel her warmth; I remember her caring and wise ways. We always enjoyed every visit ?back East? that Aunt Lillian and family made. Many visits were simply happy occasions; others were times of loss and remembrance. There were summer time visits and winter visits. (I?m sure Ruth and Kim remember that long ago summer they spent in CT where it rained for 21 straight days? Ellie and Squeaky and squashed Italian bread returned to St. Louis.) And of course there was the summer my Dad drove us all ?out West? for a visit; Aunt Lillian?s gardens were a reflection of her: lush and full of abundance. Even as the many years roll on and we all become so busy with our lives, neither time nor distance diminish the warmth and joy shared with Aunt Lillian, Uncle Harold, Ruth and Kim. This spring as the deep New Hampshire snows recede, I?ll look to my garden to see those lilies (whose bulbs were packed so gingerly and shipped ?back East? with loving care to a new garden) blossom and glow like the loving arms and warm heart that passed them on to another generation to tend to and enjoy. Peace, love, and compassion to all! Carolyn ?When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. You lived your life so that when you died, the world cried and you rejoiced.? - Native American

My dear friend, so sorry to hear of your loss. Having lost my Dad recently, I can feel your pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love always Lynn

Ruth, We are so sorry for your loss. Your family is in our prayers. God Bless you.

Ruth and Family, We were saddened to hear about your Mom. She was a grand lady. Our sympathy goes to all of you. Pete and Priscilla

I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Hoyt's death. I lost my Dad a few months ago and the pain along with sympathy is extended to Ruth and her entire family. Ruth and I are long-time, good friends. Wish I was there to give her a big Texas hug. Hope and Peace are what I wish for the family. Love, Carrie

Dear Ruth and Hoyt Family, My condolences to all of you in this sad time of loss. I know how hard the loss of a parent is. My prayers go out for you now in your time of grief, as they did when your Mom was fighting cancer. As the timing of her arrival and departure from this earth on Easter, I find it no coincidence that as many prayers went up to heaven for her, that her body rallied and you and your family were able to spend many great days together you thought you would never get. Praise God! Love, Lance Krueger

To Ruth and her family, I am so sorry for your loss. Your heart needs to hang on to the memories, and hearts do. I know I am a long way away, but my thoughts are there with you. Hugs from Pat

You and your family will be in our prayers. love, Guillermo & Esperanza

Ruth, I am sorry for your loss. As you know, I have walked in your shoes.

I don't know Lillian personally but I do know that she raised a wonderful daughter in Ruth and that speaks to who Lillian was as a mother and a woman. I'm sending a hug to Ruth and her family at this sad time and hold each of you in my heart.

May her love for all of you,shine on your face and give you peace.
