Mr. Royal and family,
Ruth was a compassionate, caring, and gracious lady. We had a special chair, just for her, in our ladies Sunday school class with her name on it. It just will not be the same without her here. She felt so blessed to have the husband she had, and she LOVED her children and grandchildren, frequently sharing delight over visits she had with them. How highly she spoke of her siblings and expressed joy over a family gathering not too long ago! OH, we shall miss her, too! We have been deeply saddened at her passing, and have you all in prayer. In these difficult days (and ahead) may each of you sense the comfort that only our God can give.
With Sympathy,

My prayers are with the family. She was a friend and will be greatly missed at the arthritis swim class at the YMCA.
