My mother has passed away at age 97. What a wonderful Mom and woman. My Dad passed in 1974 at the age of 58 when my mom was 55. Mom kept the house in Cleveland Heights into her 80's. While I was being transferred around the country, Mom kept the house up with painting and landscaping and never asked for help. We would visit often or bring Mom to where we lived.
Mom often asked how classmates were doing. Mom was a voracious reader and kept me up to date on Cleveland and Latin and NDCL..My wife Bonnie, brother Mark and sister Anne met with Ruta at the Lithuanian restaurant on 185th yesterday. It was amazing the information she had along with pictures including my seventh grade picture from St George. What stories were told about family, friends and Lithuania.
My brother Ray passed this March and Mom will now join him and Dad in heaven. What a great mother and woman.
