                           HON. ROBERT W. NEY

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 21, 2004

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker:
  Whereas, I hereby offer my heartfelt condolences to the family and 
friends of Ruth L. Applegarth; and
  Whereas, Ruth Applegarth was a loving sister, mother, grandmother, 
and great-grandmother to the members of her family. Ruth was a faithful 
member of the New Athens United Methodist Church and spent her time 
working with Flushing Chapter 369, Order of the Eastern Star. As a 
licensed Practical Nurse at the Hillview Nursing Home in Flushing, the 
Cadiz Convalescent Center, the Belmont Habilitation Center and the 
Cadiz Group Home, Ruth brought comfort and solace to those patients she 
cared for; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Applegarth will certainly be remembered by all those 
who knew her because of her loving nature towards her family, friends 
and community; and
  Whereas, the understanding and caring to which she gave to others 
will stand as a monument to a truly fine person. Her life and love gave 
joy to all who knew her;
  Therefore, while I understand how words cannot express our grief at 
this most trying of times, I offer this token of profound sympathy to 
the family and friends of Ruth L. Applegarth.
