Not sure what to say?

We are all one day closer to being reunited with Ruth, as this old system is winding down quickly. We yearn to see her again, as does Jehovah yearn to breathe life into her again. To experience the joy of seeing her laugh, taste her "good cookin'" and watch in awe as she pains beautiful pictures of paradise. She is still in our hearts and will remain there forever. Our deep love to the entire family . Jeff and Marsha Leaf

Dear Family of Ruth,
Ruth was so lovely, I can only imagine your pain in losing her. She was such a wonderful gift to our family because she helped our mother, Louise Hart. Ruth's gentle ways, wonderful smile and compassionate manner will be missed by many.

My mother-in-law, Ruth, was the most caring and thoughtful lady I have ever known! I know she was in a lot of pain but she rarely even mentioned it and put everyone else ahead of herself. I loved Ruth's sense of humor. My heart goes out to Bill and her immediate family...If I feel such a loss with Ruth's death, I can't even begin to imagine what it's like for those who have known and loved her so much longer than I have. I'm thankful we have the wonderful hope of welcoming Ruth back in Paradise.

I DID NOT KNOW RUTH LONG DUE TO BEING NEW TO THE AREA, BUT I IMMEDIATLY GREW TO ADMIRE AND DEEPLY RESPECT HER FOR HER COURAGE AND STRONG FAITH IN JEHOVAH. SHE ALWAYS HAD SUCH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE DESPITE THE HORRIFIC PAIN SHE ENDURED FOR SO LONG. RUTH WAS ALWAYS SO SWEET AND MILD TEMPERED AND I ENJOYED SHARING A LOVE OF CATS WITH HER. SHE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY ALL WHO KNEW HER AND ANTICIPATE BEING REUNITED WITH HER IN PARADISE. I AM TRULY SORRY TO BILL AND YOUR CHILDREN FOR THE LOSS OF A...

My mother was as an exceptional a mother as I could have ever asked for. She had such profound love for the truth and ministry that I admired most among her many wonderful qualities.

Our dear sister, how we must learn to live without you in our lives. All of our memories are deeply treasured. Ruth was a spiritual person who shared it with all she met. Her patience and long suffering were qualities that were outstanding.
your sister, Vera

Dear Naomi and Cande,

When I think of my aunt, Ruth, I remember the laughter and the mischeivous twinkle in her eye. She was a kind and gentle person. I remember the trip to Story Book Island with you, Cande, and my daughter, Jodie Ruth.

I have several art pieces in home that are pleasant reminders of my talented Aunt. Thanks to your Mom, we have a written story of our family's time spent in the rural schoolhouses of the Turtle Mountains.

It brings me comfort to know...

My Aunt Ruth was so sweet and special to us all and will be greatly missed. She and my Mom, Betty, always shared a very close bond as sisters. As sad as it was, they also shared a bond as they fought their cancers together. Betty was released from the clenches of cancer when she passed in November, now Ruth is with her. Now we are all suffering from their losses, but comforted knowing their pain is over and they are together again.
I will always remember my Aunt Ruth as a kind and...

To: The Kundert Family,

My husband and I are so sad to hear this news about Ruth. Our thought's, heartfelt prayers, and sincere sympathy are with your family and Ruth's friends.

Dennis and I are so thankful to have Forrest and Kelly living in Newcastle and having them as friends and also a part of the Newcastle Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses...
