Scented Musings | My Sister

In Loving Memory of Ruthie

Our beloved sister Ruthie passed away on December 26th, after a short but incredibly intense battle with Glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor.

She faced this cruel diagnosis with unimaginable strength, and while our hearts are shattered, we are comforted knowing she is no longer in pain.

To everyone who took the time to donate, pray, or simply keep Ruthie in your thoughts — thank you. Your generosity and kindness have carried us through some of the darkest days of our lives.

Your support now helps us lay Ruthie to rest with the dignity and love she deserves, and for that, we are deeply, humbly grateful.

Please continue to keep our family in your prayers as we move through this immense loss.
God bless you all.

With love and thanks,
Our family



🌿 Original Poem: For Ruthie

You were the quiet kind of light—
the kind that doesn’t boast or burn,
but warms a room by simply being in it.
You were the soft laugh at just the right time,
the hand held out without needing to be asked,
the loyal heart that never turned away.

Now the light has shifted,
but it has not gone.
It lingers in fur-covered footprints,
in the quiet stillness of early morning,
in the way we still speak your name with love.

You were — and still are — deeply loved.
Always.
