To the remaining family of Ruth and Ben. We still
relish the good times we had with these two special
people. What a rich blessing they were to us. We
share from time to time with others about our
friendship and school days at Kingsway. They were wonderful and great people. They were never too busy to lend a helping hand, pray for you, give good sound advice, and make you feel very special and
loved. God bless you all. Soon we will all meet together and be able to see our friends again at
the great reunion in heaven.

Only a few days ago I was remembering Ruth. I was thinking about her work as a nurse and how she had helped so many people in their time of suffering and pain. She was such a great blessing to me and my husband, Glenn, especially when we
were going to Spanish language at Kings Way. The health class she taught there were so beneficial for
all of the students going to the mission field. She had a lot of good and wonderful things to share with us which came in handy many times in our
travels on the foreign field.
I thought about the reunion in heaven with Ben and what a wonderful time that must have been. Some
day we all will likewise get to share in that reunion
too when God calls us to our heavenly reward. I
truly loved both Ruth and Ben. They were surely
the cream of the crop. They are in true peace.

On this anniversary of Ruth's passing we still remember her for the great lady that she was. She has graduated
with honors and abides with Jesus, family, and friends.
What a happy reunion she must of had on that blessed
day. We still think of her often and miss her along with
all of our KWMI days and friends. We trust that her family is doing well and coping well with her passing.
I know they know that she is in heaven in a much better
place and at rest with her Lord. We will all meet her
again someday when the Lord calls each of us. Ben, be
blessed and receives God's very best for you and the family. Love and prayers each day.

Ruth was an amazing woman. Glenn and I both took the health course that she gave a KWMI. So many important things we learned from her that helped us in our ministry in the back fields where there were no doctors or medical services. She was a light to many in darkness. She was one of our favorite people and we loved being around her with her smiley face and fabulous personality. She will surely be missed, but what a great reward she has obtained and what a reunion she is having
right now. God bless Ben, his children, and all his family. We love you much.
