I meet Ruth one time and that was a meeting. Her jokes and her laughter would fill a room. I am Charlene, my mother was married to Nathanial Harrison. When we came to Toledo that was when I met Ruth. I am so sorry that I did not know of her passing until I tried to call. I had a feeling that I was going to find this news. Know that the Lord with take care of you. My prayers are with you and your family.

Regina, Tony and Winona,
My heart and prayers are with you and the family. I know Daddy was there to meet Aunt Ruth. I did not get to see her as much as I wanted however she left a profound mark on my heart.
Truly she was a woman full of wisdom, class and grace. An example to us all we can rise above any negative situation. Sorry I could not make it to the funeral. Know that I love you all very, very much. Your cousin Minister Pamela Martin
