Sorry to hear of Ruth's death. Had not seen in a while. Darrrel was my cousin. Our condolences to the family. Praying you will feel the comfort of His presence as you grieve her death.

Ruth was a second mom to me and my sister. She was kind, funny, caring, and sweet. We were always welcome in her home. She and Darrell set an example of a happy marriage and good parents that I hope I live up to even today. My memories of her will always be warm and treasured. May she rest in peace, reunited with Darrell. They were both taken from us too soon and dearly missed.

Ruth and Darrell were very dear friends for years. Bryan and Jenny grew up with our kids. We camped together,made cookies and lots of meals and shared baby sitting duties to give each of us a break. She was like a sister. We are broken hearted and hope Ruth is resting in peace now.
