RIP: The ex-Mrs. AlleyAllen

Best wishes as you cope with this.
It's good that you both could remain friends til the end.

 

Sorry for you loss.
The commitment to stay close in separation is a remarkable window into someone.

 

so sorry for your loss. sounds like a great lady. :'( :'( :'(

RIP.

 

Damn Alley, I hope you're hanging in there. That's awful news. All the best and my condolences for your loss.

 

Alley, my condolences to you, Little Man and Ruthie's family. Sounds like she was a great woman.

 

My most heart felt sympathies to you and her family.

 

Alley,

I'm so sorry for you loss.

That is horrible news.

She was abviously a wonderful woman.

RIP

 

I was stunned when AA told me the news. I could hear the absolute agony in his voice. But that is AA for you. He loves to the end.
I also am grwatly saddened by her loss. Although we never got to visit much personally, since they live in Connecticut most of the time they were married, I shall never forget her absolute love of the New Jersey Devils and her total hatred of the New York Rangers (the team I live and die for), and the fun we had during the Rangers Stanley Cup run in 1994.
During the final game we would call each other after each goal. I would yell "He Shoots! He Scores!", and she would simply chant "1940, 1940" (the last time NY had drunk from the Cup).
When the final buzzer sounded I called and she didn't even say "Hello." She simply said "F*** You, Bob!" And then she hung up. In less than 15 seconds she had called back to congratulate me and the Blueshirts. And it was genuine. She meant every word of accolade.
And I remember the Sunday we went to church with her. She sang in the choir at St. James, the home church of America's original Episcopal diocese. I will never forget the sound of her incredibly beautiful voice filling that hallowed old building.
She was as beautiful a person as her voice. She was good to everyone.
God Speed, Ruthie. And choirs of angels sing thee to thy rest.

She was a teriffic lady. All who ever met

 

Can't say much more than that.

 

What a sweet obit, Alley. Peace to you and yours.

 

Very sorry for your loss. That you didn't hold bitterness says a lot of good about both of you.

 

Sounds like Ruthie, you and your family were blessed to have been in each other's lives. I'm sorry for your loss, but I congratulate you on being able to enjoy a relationship like you and she had. It's very rare and I know you'll cherish it forever.

May she RIP and may you always remember the great times you shared.
