To the Bollinger Family,
I am sorry to hear about your loss. I'm sure Ms Ruth could tell us plenty of stories of how things were back then, and how they are now. I know she will be missed.For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. May you find comfort from God's word.
