To the family,
My grandfather, Virgil Schnorf, and I are so terribly sorry to hear about the passing of sweet Ruth. She was such a beautiful woman and brought joy to so many lives. She had a giving, kind spirit, and a smile we will remember forever. I have many fond memories of my time spent with her. I can still recall when myself, and my cousins, used to trick or treat at her house as small children. Come to find out, we were her only Halloween visitors and she went out of her way to buy candy just for us. I also remember her and my grandmother Mary sampling jam and laughing together during the Santa Cruz County Fair. A couple weeks ago, I was visiting Ruth, helping her fix her phone. As I was playing with her phone, my cell phone started to ring. I answered and it was our real estate agent, saying our offer was accepted. Ruthy was the first to know, and I can still feel the hug she gave me that day. I could go on and jot down so many wonderful stories, but I won’t. She truly touched so many hearts. We are so thankful we were able to spend part of our lives making memories together. We hope you rest in paradise, Ruth. Sending our continuous thoughts and prayers to Ruth’s family during this difficult time.
-Ashley and Virgil Schnorf
