Deloris,Peggy, Holly,

Cousin Ruth has left a legacy which will be a lesson for all of us who knew her. I remember the last time I visited with her, her mind was as sharp as ever.
I always enjoyed talking to her about the family history. Today, we salute her and thank God for our time with her.
Please know that we are in prayer with and for you and the rest of the family.

Love Michael, Cynthia, Nicolas, MJ Evans

Delores, Peggy and Holly,
Those of us that were blessed and priviledged to have learned from Cousin Ruth's wisdom, strength and positive attitude acquired life's lessons that have helped to mold us into the people that we are today. What a jewel! Just know that if there is a Sunday School Class in heaven, we know who the teacher is. With much love, Wilhemenia and Family.

Delores, Peggy, and Ruth (Holly),
I am deeply saddened to hear of Cousin Ruth's passing. I will always have fond memories of the years I attended her Sunday School classes. Cousin Ruth was the first teacher I received training from outside of my home. The positive impact she has on me and many others will always be her legacy at Union Zion and beyond. Please remember this durng your days of bereavement, "To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord." You may proceed through the remainder of your lives with a "Blessed Assurance" that she is resting peacefully in the arms of the Savior.

With Our Utmost Positive Regards,
