Condolences
The family of Ruth E. Clawson has received the following condolences.
Marty and Jim
You were such good kids to your Mom and Dad. Kept the family close and I think you encouraged that in your own children. Tom and Ruth were so proud of you. Every conversation with them was about you both and the grandchildren. Now they have joined all the other Clawson sisters/brother/in-laws and the circle of life continues. Such good memories.
Dear Jim and Mary Lou,
I was so sorry to see the notice of Ruth's death in the newspaper. I tried calling but you were out and I knew you would have things that you needed to do. Just remember that you took good care of your Mom and now she is in a peaceful place. We will be in touch in the near future.
With Sympathy,
Bev Hawkinson
I am sorry for your loss. May fond memories of you mother bring you comfort at this time.
My heart goes out to you all. I wish I could be there. As you know Aunt Ruth along with Jim and Marty came to Mom and Dads ceremony not too long ago. It was a special reunion and I was very glad to catch up after so many years with all of you. Aunt Ruth is a very special person to me. I have many memories of Uncle Tom and her.
So, the Clawson clan continues. I hope to be able to come up there from North Carolina again and see you all again. Life is indeed too short to ignore family. And I know... Tom, Dad, Ruth, Mom and other loved ones are indeed reunited in a perfect world.
Much love, Bill Clawson
