Sent with love and remembrance,
Simple Sorrows was purchased for the family of Ruth B. Kuhn.
May you rest in peace Grandma Kuhn. Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes a sun. Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood. Because I knew you I do believe I have been changed for the good.
Ruth (Rick) will always live on in my memory. She was my Girl Scout leader and my good friend’s sister. Ruth and Pete Peterson led our troop. She was energetic constantly teaching us new things such as songs, concepts, and the history behind many things in our world. We had many campouts that were always such fun with lots of hikes. We learned how to make buddy burners, which even today the simplistic makeup of them still intrigues me. I will always remember Ruth as a lady of integrity, warmth, and creativity as well as having a contagious laugh. She inspired me to not be afraid to get involved. She truly has always been an outstanding representative of the good people in Madison. My condolences to all of her family.
