Not sure what to say?

Robyn, Finley, Lucy and Ann,
I just want to say again how much Ruth meant to Bobby and me. When I think about her and rhe times that we spent together it makes it easier to let her go.Be sssure to take care of each other. That's the way she would have wanted it.
Be Blessed,
Love, always,
Bobby and Jewel (Kennesaw Georgia)

Ruth and I joined the police department at the same time and spent several years with the Womens Bureau. We followed different paths but always had good conversations when we met up. She loved her family and her church and she was an admirable woman. May she rest in peace.

Dear Finley and Robyn:

Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your entire family at this time.

The service was beautiful and clearly showed how loved Ruth was by everyone that she touched. No one ever seemed to mind that Ruth was "telling" them nicely what to do and how to do it. It just seemed normal to all of us.

Finley, always remember how much you and Ruth loved each over and that she will still be looking down on you and trying to keep you in line...

Finley, our good friend Margie Prokay told me of your loss and I wanted to express my deepest sympathy to you and your family. It has been a long time since your retirement and you may not remember me, but I remember you and your kindness to me when ever I visited Cleveland on business.

Please remember that we are blessed by the people in our lives, and certainly by our Saviouir Jesus Christ.

Blessings to you and your family.

Uncle Finley and Robyn,

Love,

Rachel, Donielle, and Donovan

Dear Finley and Robyn,

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Ruth's service was beautiful, spiritual and very fitting for such a wonderful lady. It was very nice to hear so many testimonials and more than once it was said that Ruth was successful in scolding people in a "nice way". I recall that Finley, Ruth, Richard and I were at a dinner and Ruth scolded Richard for using too much salt!

Robyn, we did not have a chance to speak to you, but we are very proud...

"Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. We live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." II Corinthians 5:6-8 NIV

God is faithful and will come along side and comfort you. Sister Ruth isn't dead she is merely sleeping; it is our prayer we WILL see her again.

To Finley and Family:
You have my deepest sympathy. Ruth taught me the skills needed to be a detective. I have carried her words with me through out my career. She was a great lady, one that was and will continue to be highly respected.

Even though I don't remember my aunt, "I loved her very much!" My mother & I send our condolences. I'm hoping one day, "I could see everyone very soon!
lots of love,
Tony
