To my beloved daughter, mother to my beautiful grandchildren, Justin and Rachel, who passed away on July 24, 2014 at the age of 60. “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” You will always be remembered for your great love of family, radiant smile, witty sense of humor and your extraordinary commitment to your patients. Ruth was a dialysis nurse at U.Va. hospital for over 35 years. We miss you beyond belief but know your light shines within us forever. Love, your mother, Julia Perez, Justin, Rachel, sister, Myrna, 2 brothers: Antonio and Edwin and all those friends and family whose lives you touched.
