Not sure what to say?

It´s been a year already. Your smile and good heart is so missed. I know your happy now with your husband John together forever again

I met John and Ruth while driving the church bus. Parking at our church is at a premium so the church bought new a 9 passenger bus with handicap capability. We picked them up at Hutchins park at the end of Congress Ave and brought them to church and after worship took them back. Also was asked to sit with Ruth and Ruth Vaughn,and Clarence Vaughn in the same pew. Ruth loved her hugs

Many are the eyes observing Ruth Jessup's shaping of their lives! As a Grandson-in-law, I am honored in turn to share a bit how she guides me forward! GREATgrandma Ruth ( I delight in seeing her through my daughters' doting gaze) grew beyond the trials of the Great Depression, as did MY Grandmother Ruth (Hibben), and my best friend's Grossmama, ALSO Ruth.

Mrs. Ruth sent me countless dozens of prayer cards and notes during years of chronic illness. Her thoughtful gestures brought me solace and comfort during that difficult time.

We know Mrs. Ruth is in a happier place in our Father´s arms! She was one of the dearest people We have ever had the privilege to know. Mrs. Ruth will be greatly missed!

Mrs. Ruth will be dearly missed at Havre de Grace UMC. Everyone loved her and her gentle loving ways. She was a wonderful disciple of Jesus Christ and as I told Jennifer earlier, I know she was welcomed to her eternal home and heard those wonderful words, " Job well done good and faithful servant.".
