I did not personally know Ms. Alexandria but from her daughter, Allynn Ruth, she is an inspirational woman. I learned of her from Ms. Allynn talking about her speech she used to always give her children. I was so moved by that speech and I wanted the family to know how inspirational Ms. Alexandria's words still are today. Allynn, thank you for allowing me to share your mother's words.

This date serves as the 6th year anniversary of Sister Ruth´s homecoming celebration. She was a dear mentor to my sister when she moved from Mississippi to Washington state after college. They both faithfully served the Lord in the same church together. The book of Titus 2:4 in part defines what Sister Ruth stood for. She dedicated compassionate time to teach younger women how to be godly women in Christ. Sister Ruth & that younger woman (my referenced sister) that she mentored have now both gone home to be with the Lord. They both fulfilled their God-assigned service here on earth as it was ordained in heaven. Sister Ruth´s proven faith and works are all remembered by the Lord & all of us on this platform that write these true testimonies about her meaningful legacy! Her life is still ministering!!

When my family moved we lost touch with Mrs. Ruth she made a lasting impact on my life and I'm truly grateful. I learned so much from this beautiful woman. RIP thank you for loving me Mrs. Ruth.

Sister Ruth always carried herself with a genuine class and elegance that was rare to find. She cared about everyone that she crossed paths with & did so much for others behind the scenes without want for praise and recognition. I pray that her life serves as an example to many of what true biblical virtue is. May God rest her soul and may her family and friends be consoled to know that God completely worked His predestined will through her life!

I thank God for allowing this beautiful spirit to impact my life and the life of my child, Meka, during her stay in Seattle. I will forever cherish the precious memories. I lost contact and just discovered her transition today, July 14, 2016; however, I remember how she prepared me for this day. She told to let her go. I'm consoled in knowing that she and Meka have been reunited. May God bless you Charles and Lynn, as well as the entire family. I love you dearly, Gloria Wynn, Jackson, MS
