In Bloom - The Tulips 2023
It's spring, the season of birth and resurrection. At Ruth's memorial service in October 2022, each attendee was given yellow tulip bulbs to plant at their homes as a living memorial-- a botanical symbol to carry Ruth with us in our daily lives. As these tulips bloom, we see their beauty and we're reminded of her. The tulips pictured here are from the bulbs distributed at her memorial and are now living in the yards of Ruth's family and friends, from California to Florida. They are a glorious reminder of Ruth’s grace, love and spirit!
