  1. Memories are so comforting at a time like this so I know you will cherish them. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Bobbie Nelson

  2. I’m sorry I will miss visitation and the funeral tomorrow, but I started a new job this week and cannot take time off. Ruth holds a special place in my heart. When several people left our church all at once, Ruth stepped up to do Sunday School, and she assisted with Awana. She knew I was left short-handed, so she did not hesitate to help. She brought her family in to help with Awana, too, and her great-grandchildren attended. My sincere condolences to her entire family.
