My Condolences to Ruth and her family.
I am so very sorry for your loss. I am just now seeing this death notice. Our families were friends and I attended youth group with all of the wonderful Schoenberg kids where our families were founding members of Messiah Lutheran Church in Germantown MD. Well done good and faithful servant! May you rest in peace in the presence of The Almighty God! Sincerely, Linda (Ferraro) Lynn
