Ruth Connolly: She Personifies “Caring”
Ruth Connolly exemplifies what a good citizen, neighbor, parent and friend is. Luisa Cerda met Ruth Connolly upon the death of her son, José, in late October 2010. When Ruth showed up at Luisa’s home in Montgomery and introduced herself, she handed her facial and toilet tissue. Ruth assured Luisa that these were primary necessities under the circumstances and that it was totally understandable to overlook the powder room given the enormity of what Luisa was going through. They laughed a bit when Ruth explained that Luisa was about to have many visitors from a caring community. It turned out she was the personification of that caring community.
