I am sorry concerning the loss of your loved one. I remember her friendly demeanor and smile that I often saw on her face while attending church with her in New London, CT at the N.L. UMC. May the Lord Jesus be with thee all during this season concerning your loved one.

Ruth or "Tim" as we all knew her was a remarkable woman who was well loved by my whole family. She attended our church and sang in the choir and was just the most giving person you could ever want or need as a friend. My mom and I and my daughter Donna have not seen her in a while but she holds a very special place in our hearts. Love you Tim give my daddy a bear hug when you see him.
