[HCARC] Note From John Guida - Ruthie Guida Passed On May 25th

[Gary Johnson]

In an email to me,  John Guida K5IA asked me to post the following on the Reflector:

“I have been somewhat silent on the Internet for the last several days, but I now want to share this note with our family and friends.
I'm very sad to tell all of you that on May 25 we lost Ruthie to the devastating cancer that she bravely battled for the past eight years. However, typical of Ruthie as I'm sure you will remember her, she stayed positive to the end. Throughout her last days, we were blessed by the presence of Ruthie's daughter from Connecticut, and our children and grandchildren who came to Kerrville to help with the care of their beloved Ruthie, and their Papa (proudly that's me!).

And not at all a surprise, Ruthie maintained her love and concern for family and friends, as well as her unique sense of humor, to the very end. That was my Lady!!!!

Due to a family medical issue, we are postponing Ruthie's memorial service until October 15. We'll make sure to send out a reminder notification to you in plenty of time for you to plan to attend if you would like to do so..

In closing, thank all of you for always being there for us, but especially for her. Ruthie loved all of you so much, as I do as well.

God Bless all of you. 
John Guida”
