I knew Aunt Ruth for years from working around the corner from her office at CTN. She was the sweetest, kindest, most gentle woman I ever knew. She never had anything but good to say about everybody. I just loved her and have thought of her often since she quit working here.

My Condolences! I see that Ruth was a loving, God fearing women. I'm sure she will be missed dearly. I hope you find comfort in Jesus words about the future. Matt 5:25 says "Most truly I say to you, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and will live." Its a beautiful promise that many look forward to.
