This post is dedicated to Ruth (I am withholding her last name to protect the privacy of her family) who passed away on Christmas Eve. Dr. Marjorie sent me this photo from a trip they took together this summer. As you might tell from the meal, they were in Nantucket. Dr. Marjorie has been in my Wednesday night class for over four years. She is the one who brought Ruth to class for just about a year before she became ill. They were friends for over thirty years.
Ruth was a lot of fun to have in class because her humor kept us all laughing. She was quick with the wit but warm with her heart. We also have teenagers in the Wednesday night class and Ruth had a genuine interest in what they were doing with their art and with their lives.
Ruth spent the past year painting portraits of her family. What a wonderful gift they will always have from her.

My dear Ruth, we will miss you!
