Stephanie, I didn't mean to leave you out. You were the only daughter Miz Ruth had with her on this earth. She loved you girls and boys no matter what you did. Now there,was a momma. She gone to her home now. Bye Miz Ruth.

Miz Ruth was a kind and loving woman. I'm so sorry I was unable to attend her service at the church. I didn't find out about her passing until afterwards. She and her family use to live next door to me in Bristol on Carolina Avenue. I really missed her when she moved out of town. Miz Ruth helped me ,as I'm sure she did many others in a time of need. And it didn't matter what race you were. I'm glad I was able to be there for her when she lost her daughter Teresa. She trusted in the Lord to help in times of good or bad. I know she hated to leave loved ones behind, but was glad to see those who went before her. We love you Ruth. Ask God to smile on us once in awhile. Stay strong J.B.,Marc,Otis,Arthur,and Monica. She's still watching over you.

Sorry we were unable to be with you in the passing of Ruth. She was kind and good and leaves memories to think of. She would of been very pleased with the way the service was carried out. Keep your faith in God and stick together and God will carry you higher.

When a stone is dropped into a Lake it quickly disappears from sight , but it's impact leaves behind a series of ripples that broadens and reaches across the water. In the same way the impact of one life lived for Christ will leave behind an influence for good that will reach the lives of many others.
The testimony for Christ that Ruth has left behind will continue to reach out as a blessing to many other lives, just like it has been to her family.
