Ruth (Jurgens) Noth Christmas Day Update

Hey Dave – blessings to you and yours!


I’ve attached a couple of photos. My granddaughter, Kairi, who will be 18 months soon. Her baby brother will be born Feb. 5th by C section – that is also the date my Tom and my best friend of 44 years, Jan Riley Morton (also classmate) passed away. It will be nice to have 3 wonderful lives to celebrate that day, especially one being a birth!

Chris and family only wanted baby stuff, so the tree was surrounded with big packages of cases of diapers and wipes and garage sale bargain clothing for both kids. Our Christmas together was a week ago.  We video chatted with Mike in Colorado for an hour and 10 minutes today and opened presents to one another during the video chat.

Brought Mom’s favorite painting upstairs and hung it in her bedroom. She lost her mother at age 11 and poppies were her mother’s favorite. Mom was pretty touched to have it closer by her. She’s 86 1/2 and as you know, has lived with me now 3 years. Glad she’s here in more ways than one!!!

Take care dear friend. Momma and I have been alone as well, but it’s been a great day.
