Dear Family Members,
Words cannot express my sympathy for your loss. Ms. White was a giver and seemed to enjoy every minute of it. As a teacher you try to find other teachers who are love and respected by not only students, but faculty. Thank you for sharing her with us.

To Erica, Kimberly, Anthony, and the rest of the White Family. Rusty will surely be missed by many, but remember one thing. GOD makes NO MISTAKES. Those who die in Christ , are present with the Lord. This is all part of GOD;S Marvellous plan. God created all of us to one day be with him. I know right now you may not understand why this has happened to you , but cast all of your cares upon God. Weeping will endure for the night ,but JOY will come in the morning. Keeo your hand in God's hand ,and he will bless you.

My Sincere Prayers and Deepest Sympathy to the White's Family:
The news of Ms. White's transition from Earth to Heaven was devastating. Although, I've never met her, but have talked with her numerous times via telephone. She was a great friend of my brother Allen Ingram. Please know that all of you are in my prayers during this hour of bereavement. It is because my family has experienced such loss, I can most certainly relate to your sorrow. Just remember the fond memories of Ms. White.
Trust in God, all will be all right.
Peace & Blessings

You were always the smile I needed at school no matter what was going on. I'll always remember your smile, positive attitude and words, "It will be alright". You know you were right. To the family God has called one of his angels home alone to stand over you from above. She may be gone in the physical, but she still here in spirit and in all of our hearts. Remember God is... He will see you through.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Ms. White. I will always remember her as one of the kindest and most pleasant woman I knew. She always had a smile on her face even when she may have been mad. Although I haven't communicated or seen her in quite some time, she has left a lasting impression that will forever remain with me. My family and I will be praying for you during this time of heartache. Keep trusting and know that it is all in God's plan.

Your mom was my 5th grade teacher at the old John B. McFerran Elementary school. I have always carried her in my spirit and appreciated her time and the wonderful personality she displayed to me even when I would show up at her mother in law house across the street from the school. I am grateful for the opportunity to have been able to cross her path in life again through you as my former co-worker. My prayers are with you and your family. May God Bless you with strength and courage. Bernadette Alexander

To the family of "Reesecup" White: your mom taught me in the 7th grade, and was one of those teachers that left a lasting impression on your life. Ruscelia did just that, she took teaching to heart and it showed to her students. I will speak on behalf of my mom (a former co-worker of Ruscelia's), our hearts are with your family in this time of grief. Peace to you all!

The The Family,
I grew close to your mother as we worked together at Meyzeek and continued our friendship after we both left Meyzeek. I find peace in the fact that she LIVED her life. I was able to witness her accomplish things she never thought she would ever do like traveling overseas, hiking in a rainforest, and others. I loved Rusty as if she was a member of my family and she embraced me as if I was a member of hers. She is in a better place, smiling down upon us.

My thoughts and prayers are with the White family at this time. Ms. White was my seventh grade English teacher, some 15 years ago. Over the years she has had a lasting impression on numerous adolescents that have pass through the halls of Meyzeek Middle School. Her loving spirit will live on forever.
In Matthew 24:31, Jesus speaks to the disciples telling them "And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other." Let it be said that the trumpets sounded on Monday and an angel was called to ascend into the heavens. May God continue to keep and bless your family.
IN GOD'S HANDS

To "Rusty's" Family -
I met her about 40 yrs ago in a program facilitated by Spalding College for aspiring college students. She was such a sweetheart!! She had the cutest smile and gentle spirit - I have never forgetten her! Her mom was special too! I have family members of Antioch Bapt Church who had such admiration for her. My sincere prayers are with you at this time. Proverbs 3:5 -6, "Trust in the Lord....... "

Ms. White was a very loving teacher who treated all of her students as if they were her own children. My daughter enjoyed being in her class last year.
Suzanne Inmon

My daughter, Liz, was one of Ms. White's students at Meyzeek. When I attended the open house in my daughter's first year of middle school, Ms. White told the parents that she had retired, but missed the kids so much that she decided to come back to teaching. I remember thinking what a special person Ms. White must be to actually WANT to spend time with a bunch of middle school kids. Ms. White was indeed a very special person -- she was adored and cherished by all her students at Meyzeek. Ms. White's love of children helped many students get through the difficult years of middle school and she will be mourned by the many young people whose lives she touched.

I am so devastated by the news of her passing. God took her peacefully and quietly cause she was a peaceful and quiet lady. She taught me in the 5th grade and was a great teacher. She will be truly missed.
To her children - I know there are tears of sorrow that will last for quite a while, but remember, she is with God now and whatever worries or obstacles she was enduring, they are now over. Talk to God and if you humbly ask him why did this happen, He will reveal the answer to you.
Stay strong and stay together as this is a period in one's life that noone wants to face, but when you live with the Lord, you die with the Lord and have eternal life.
The family is in our prayers.
Love,
Antioch Bapt. Church Member
