I just found out about Miss Ruth's passing. Can't believe I didn't hear about it. I loved her so much. She was truly a lady of God. We worked together in the GA's at Second Baptist and once Mr. Strickland became to the point where she had to stay home with him, I replaced her as leader . I would always go and hug her after church services. I knew I hadn't seen her in a while just thought she wasn't feeling well. I kept saying I needed to call her or go by and visit. She was always so glad to see me and I her as well. I miss her so much but I know we will rejoice in heaven. Love in Christ, Barbara Miltner.
