Ruth had many health issues during her life. Tragically, bone cancer took her away from the ones she loved.
Bill married Ruth as she was fading away. She is buried with Bill at the U.S. Naval Academy, forever.
Years later, Mike contacted Maurice Sendak. He sent Mike a professional copy of Ruth’s story and his drawing from their high school literary book.
When Maurice passed away, Mike sent Ruth’s story and Maurice’s drawing to Brooklyn newspaper. They published it and it was picked up by the New York Times.
