Not sure what to say?

So sorry for your loss.

I remember her when she ran the flower shop., but most of all a kind and graceful lady. Blessing

Mary Ruth was a special lady! She will be missed by all who knew & loved her. Praying our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ surrounds her family with his love bringing strength & peace today & in the future.

Mary Ruth when she was on the personal committee at Alton Baptist is directly responsible for my serving as Youth Director and I have been serving in the church every since. She helped push me out of the pew and I am forever grateful for her. She was a great lady. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone at this time. Unfortunately, you know I am in Texas dealing with a death in the family too. I wish I could be there during visitation and funeral. I know where she is being buried...
