Gladys R. Ruth

Grandma,

As I write this my face is filled with a smile. Thinking of you brings joy to my heart as always, regardless of the fact that you are no longer with us in the physical. You have and will always remain that figure of strength, pride, and love that has helped guide me throughout my life. And even thought we can no longer see that bright, beautiful smile greet us as we walk in your front door, we know that you are looking down on us from heaven everyday with warmth and love. ...

Grandma I will always remember babysitting for you and you teaching me how to make the million dollar pie. I will always remembe going to church with u and grandad and we would sit in the car, while waiting on him, laughing and talking. I take comfort in knowing you are with God and I will make sure my children know how special you were to me.

Granny I miss you much. I will see you soon. I love you and you will always be in my heart.

Grandma..I miss you SOOO MUCH!! I am going to miss our trips to Mcdonalds for that double cheeseburger meal and that sweet tea that you loved so much and you calling me every 20mins to see when I am coming. "smiles" You were my second mother and I thank you for everything that you, my mother, and my aunts have taught me that I will pass on my children one day. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH and I know you are looking down from heaven smiling on us with your nice church hat on!! :)

What a wonderful kind and loving mother you were to all 13 of us. Watching you and dad taught me how to love my husband and be a good mother to my children. I will never forget how you care for me ater I gave birth to my 4 children. You were always there for me and you never let me down. Go on and take your rest mom, it's been a long journey and you were tired, so God called you home to be with him. I love you ma and you will live in my heart forever.

TO THE RUTH FAMILY,
WE WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR CONDOLENCES TO YOU ON THE PASSING OF YOUR LOVE ONE.

Hello Sister Shirley~

I pray that GOD will see you through and he'll be your strong tower in a time such as this. Praying for you and I love you and I'll be seeing you soon.

To Shirley & the Entire Ruth Family,
May you find comfort in knowing that in the midst of your tears and sorrow, God knows, God Sees, and God cares; May you find a peace that will pass all understanding as you put your cares and trust in the hands of God, our heavenly Father, and May you find Joy in knowing that our Heavenly Father promises that "weeping may endure throughout the night, but joy cometh in the morning."

Shirley, your message that you wrote to your mother was very...

I would like to express my condolences to the family of an exceptionally special lady whom I only knew through the honorable, beautiful, and blessed spirits of her daughter, Shirley Carter, and family members whom I have met in the York, PA area. Your gift of love, strength, and Godly commitment in works and deeds, has been firmly implanted and will forever live in the hearts, minds, and souls of your offspring...and theirs...Truly your living has not been in vain.
