Here is a toast and a little bit about my Grandmother Ruthie. She was strong for us all. At times it was hard to see all she truly did for her family. I tried and failed to put into words the strength I learned to see in Ruthie. Now a days it's hard to find a second of the day that we're alone with ourselves, our thoughts and voluntarily choose to be. In Ruthie, I saw someone who chose to be on her own knowing she never found a love that would top the one she found with Grandfather Billy and built a family with. She left it there although I believe it lived in her heart everyday. She held her head up and never asked for a peep of sentiment. It's lost on us all she endured in order to keep a steady love for us. A surviving mother of two sons she burried in her lifetime, something she'd wish on no one and the Great Grandmother of three grandchildren. If you wanted to see what life was all about you just had to ask her about one of these darling children. She could talk for hours about hair color, eye color, who got who's looks from who, and what outfits were the cutest. She would do anything for them in the short time she had with them, even join 'this' Instagram to see them more often. I truly believe she fought to come home after 2 months in the ICU just to meet little Sydney and say good-bye to us all on her time. She was fascinated with the genealogy of our families, Monteleone & Aleman. I'm convinced this was to pay respect to those who came before us. But for all we had to do was look to her to know the roots of our family. We'll be sharing of the great great grandmother Ruthie, and how special she really was for years. Ruthie always liked to remind us often with a toast at Thanksgiving that without my great great Grandfather Antonio we'd have nothing! But with this I'd like to add to her toast. Just as we may never know how vital the role Sophie (Antonio's wife) played in his life, who knows she may have even been the courage behind Antonio's decision to make the jump into a new endeavor "the Hotel business", I'd like to give Ruthie the same nod. I'm thankful for her courageous position in this family. I think in generations to come we'll see our Gran
