"Cindy, Wayne, Steve and Susan,
You have our sympathy and prayers in the passing of your mom. I remember Ruth working part-time in the old office at Zion, assisting Lorena Fink at times. Personally, all I knew about Ruth was from contacts at church. One of my neighbors spoke of Ruth being her Girl Scout leader. Obviously, over the years she was an active, loyal mom to her kids. You're blessed to have had such an involved mother. We pray you share all your memories with each other, it will help ease your grief. Most of all, you know that Ruth was a Christian who believed firmly in her Lord. God's comfort to you all!
Renee and Butch Miller"
