Ruth and Vic were dear family friends. Of course, when our Karin married Gene, they also became family members. I´ll always remember Ruth´s red hair which, occasionally, could match her temperament. Ruth, Vic, and their whole family were faithful members of Oakland Presbyterian Church while I was their pastor. We fondly remember and truly miss both Vic and Ruth!

Sally & I will miss Ruth in many special ways. Personally, I´ve known Ruth and Vic for some 45 years! Karin, our daughter, married Gene. I even remember Rowland and Elma Jackson. Rowland served as treasurer for Oakland Presbyterian Church during the 12 years that I was the family´s pastor. Sally & I are sorry to have missed Ruth´s funeral. May our loving God comfort all of Ruth´s family at this time of loss.

We are so sorry for the loss of your Mom.
We enjoyed waving back and forth to your Mom, especially if we were parked at the stop light. She had that big smile on her face. We would wave and then stop for a second and wave again. We feel she loved waving and smiling at everyone. We really loved seeing her big smile. It made us happy and delighted. Prayers for all the family.
