Ruah
"the breath of God"
— which gives us life, love, and joy.
That is exactly what Ruah gave to so many people.

Ruah was full of love for her mother Emily and father August, exuding sass, laughter, and silliness. 
Her kindness knew no bounds—so much so that it overflowed into others.

Her voice sang with her Mama’s, her feet danced with her Daddy’s, and her hands were often full of snacks—small joys that made her world so big. 
She lived with wonder, led with love, and reminded us all how beautiful life is when we let ourselves feel joy in the little things.

Though her time here was brief, her light lives on in every giggle, every twirl, every sweet memory. 
She was our breath of God—and we will carry her in ours, always.
