Ruth was a very old friend of mine that I met through Perry Christian Church. We enjoyed each others company
and always had a good time. The last time I saw her she was visiting from Fla.and I picked her up at Bob's house off of Wales Ave. and took her out to eat with some of our friends. She sure was a special lady and dedicated herself to the Lord's work when she was able. I am sorry for your loss.
