To the Dismuke Family, My Heartfelt Sympathy goes out to you. When I think about Mama Ruthie the fond memories will live forever as we share many talks. A wise woman she was and will be truly missed. Although we know her work here was done and God called her home in his arms it’s difficult not to speak to her but her presence remains. May time ease your sorrow and loving memories bring us peace.
Pam, Darren, Pooh and Fatfat your Mom truly loved her children.
With my Deepest Love

A Reminiscence
YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.
May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.
Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;
To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.

My memories of Ruthie go back to when she came to work for West Circle Complex, I was the Payroll Clerk. She always had a smile, and that laugh always brought a smile to my face. You sure did not want to make her mad, she could make you cring with that look, as I am sure you all can vouch for. Ruthie will be remembered for a lot of things, you all are in my prayers and thoughts. Love to all, Barb

Grandma it just seems like yesterday i spent a whole week with you laughing, talking, and just speaking about life. I'll never forget any of the wise words and advice you gave me through out life. This will be a tough road for me and the rest of the family to get over, you were the solid rock and backbone of our family. I love you with all my heart and more, and will never forget you. Love always your grandson Dermonte Dismuke.

Darin, Darrell, Pam and Darrick,
It is never easy dealing with the loss of a loved one and I can only imagine how much harder it is to deal with the loss of your Mother. Finding the words to express my sincere sympathy is very challenging. Please know that I am truly sorry for your loss and will keep the family in continual prayer.
