To my Family. Aunt Ruth was the rock and a very serious woman of God. She loved her family and will be missed but Know God did not want her to suffer, his mansion for her was completed as she sent up all her timber. Shed the tears, but keep her memory in your hearts and love each other. "Sweet Holy Spirit, Sweet heavenly dove,
Stay right here with us, filling us with Your love;
And for these blessings we lift our hearts in praise
Without a doubt we know that we´ll have been revived,
When we shall leave this place."
