I am G.L.Hammock, Jr. brother and we

are sorry to hear of Ruth's death. We often think of the visits we had with both of them before his death.

We both thought Ruth was responsible

for getting G. L. into the Church and we appreciated her care for him.

We just got the notice today in Waynesboro about her passing.
