That may be the lovliest obituary I have ever read. My wonderful mother also had dementia at the end of her life. Thank you, Ethan, for bringing light into the world through your magnificent writing.
So sorry to hear about Ruth. But I’m grateful that I got a chance to experience her generous spirit. But my condolences to you and Sarah. Oh, and wonderful tribute, by the way.
If you or your wife were to write an extended memoir I'm sure based on what you shared it would be very moving. A friend, Ronald-Stéphane Gilbert, did that recently with his book, Conversations with My Mother: A Novel of Dementia on the Maine Coast. In any case, thank you for sharing Ruth's memory with us.
What a wonderful tribute. It clearly was a blessing to know her.
What a beautiful eulogy. Condokeces .

What a wonderful sentence - "It will be easy to keep her memory as a blessing."
Sincere condolences
Another wonderful achievement -- she raised the person who would become the love of your life.
What an incredible portrait of Sarah’s mom; may her memory be a blessing and inspiration.
Ethan, that was beautiful. May her memory put a smile on everyones face.
Just beautiful.
Sending my aloha to you and your family.
Made me think of my own dearly departed mother
Thank you for sharing these stories and inner family dynamics. Beautiful to read about the compassion and care Sarah and all provided. Condolences.
So sorry for your loss, Ethan. Ruth sounds like an amazing person.
Beautiful. My condolences.
