I am so lucky and happy to have known Ruth❣️. Although I’ve not seen her in quite a few years, Ruth was always such a sweet and lovely lady. My thoughts and prayers are with her family…..but especially with Dwayne💕
Prayers for Dwayne & her children & grandchildren!
Ruth was more like a sister. I loved to talk with her. She was a wealth of knowledge. If I had a prayer request , she wrote it down and I knew she would pray. She loved and admired her husband with all her heart. I have so many wonderful memories; vacations, games, eating out and just laughing together. Thank you Jesus for putting her in my
life. I know she is so very happy although we all miss her so much. I love you!

One week without Ruth now. So very hard. Wednesdays were our days and today felt so empty. Ruth was the best friend ever. I hadn’t done Bible study since she wasn’t able. Now I will replace Ruth time with that. I loved my Bible study time with her. She was my prayer partner and we always knew we count on each other for our prayer needs.
We enjoyed our tea times, lunches out, thrifting, going to the park. Earlier on we played games and did a few crafts. We both enjoyed plants and flowers.
Such a wonderful person to so many people. She would encourage me and remind me of who I am in Christ. She also cared enough to let me know if I was going astray on something.
I certainly hope I was as good a friend to her as she was to me. No one could ever fill her shoes.
She always loved teaching childre and many were blessed by her and Dwaynes teaching.
May God hold your family close.
Til we meet again.
