Just as sure as we are born, we will die. Eric and I, are so thankful, as well as grateful for the time we go to spend with Aunt Ruth before She departed this life. We will miss her.

Feb. 9th will forever be etched in my mind. Aunt Ruth was surrounded by her family and friends. It was a beautiful and glorious day. It was a day of rememberance, praying and singing Aunt Ruth favorite hymn, Yes, Jesus Loves Me. To see her go from distress to a peaceful rest was very comforting. I know she felt the love that was in the room along with the presence of her Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. She is gone, but will never be forgotten. Love, Maywest
