To all the Edwards Family,

Ruth's passing is very sad for me since I have known her most all of my life. She was such a caring person, sharp dresser and Christian lady. The many kind things she did for Mama are too numerous to mention and she truly helped keep Mama active as long as she lived.

My sincere condolences to all of you,

Joan Timmerman King, Greenville, SC
