    Ruth was such an amazing person and an inspiration. She truly loved her children and prayed for them always. She will be truly missed, although as she always said she was ready for the Lord to take her home. I always told her that she had more to teach us and she taught us much.Thoughts and prayers to the family on their loss. I am sure she is at peace and happy looking down on all of you.
