Ruth welcomed me as a new-hire to the Bureau ln 1992, making an immediate and lasting positive impression that only grew more heart-felt with the passing of time and more opportunities to know and appreciate this wonderful person.
She and Conrad genuinely befriended Linda and me - a friendship that endured long after employment and life's flow took us down different paths to different locales. She brightened our lives and we are deeply saddened to know that her radiance is now a memory to those of us who are left behind to cope without her.
Linda and I will be donating to the American Breast Cancer Foundation in her name, longing forward to the day that terrible disease is finally conquered and the suffering it brings to so many good people becomes a thing of the past.
Knowing that she is now with the savior she loved, fully accepted and truly served, we rejoice in the memory of the wonderful attributes she shared with us in this world while
having every confidence that she is now brightening the here-after with that same gracious personal brilliance.
Duane and Linda Zussy
