Dear Sexton Family, It has been a long time since I have been in touch with you. I remember fondly all the weekends that Betty would take me to your home so I could practice piano for my music class at Yancey. I remember the Christmas Eve you allowed me to share your Christmas with you and my car fell into your driveway culvert. Fun times and great memories. You were so blessed to have Miss Ruth as your loving Mother. She was a gentle giant. I pray you will all honor her memory and use her life as your guide through life.

My condolences to the Patrick and Sexton family. Marie Patrick Lofton, I do not know if you remember me, I have never forgotten you and your grandfather. We attended either Mary Vale or Mae Eanes School together. I have never forgotten how smart you were and well you cooked on that wood stove. I was so impressed with you my friend. Again, I am sorry for your loss.

Your family and friends appear to have been greatly blessed by even knowing Mrs. Sexton. Love and sympathy for your family as you all come to peace with knowing she's now all more than a neighbor or family. She is now a precious angel still and forever always watching over you each of you.

We first met Ruth at her great granddaughter Jessica's marriage to our son. We thought she a most delightful lady to talk with. And we felt we had known her all our lives after a few momments. Make God take her into His Arms and keep her warm and safe. Her eternal life now begins. We will keep you and your families in our prayers, Ruth.
