Ruth was a very good friend to me & Richard. She always opened her home to us & made us feel so special.
I will "always" remember the love shown to us when we spent time with them in Alabama. Ruth wasn't feeling her best, but she did not let that stop her from giving us the gift of genuine hospitality! Meredith & Ruth were a great couple. We just loved being in their company. Buddy's too.
In Christ Forever!
