SISTER RUBY V. WILEY WAS A WOMAN OF PRIDE. SHE WAS FAITHFUL IN TRAVELING TO FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF RENDVILLE, OHIO EACH TIME THERE WAS AN SPECIAL EVENT. IT WAS A JOY AND A BLESSING TO SEE HER WALK IN THE HISTORIAL CHURCH FOR THE THIRTEEN YEARS I PASTORED. MY WIFE AND I SEND OUR PRAYERS TO THE FAMILY. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO KEEP HIM LOVING ARMS AROUND EACH OF YOU.
