I’m so very sorry for the loss of Ruth, I got to know her and the family at Millers Merry Manor Nursing home. She was one strong lady, and put up a good fight The Malva Foster Family wish to express are deepest sympathies to Charlie and the three siblings and their families. As Christians we know where she is right now, and the promise as Christian that we shall see her again. Your Family is in our thoughts and Prayers.
I was very sorry to read that Ruth had passed away. I had seen you at Pam’s, and you told me she was ill. I did not know Ruth well, but she was always friendly and was a real lady. I am so sorry for your loss. Brenda Wyatt- Jim West’s daughter.
‘Ruth was a special friend and will always be remembered. She was a gentle, sweet lady and very caring and giving. I first met her when she came to Heritage Christian church and my husband had Bennie’s funeral. She helped advise us when we built our house and helped us get our loan. She generously gave and helped us go to the Holy Land. She went to the Holy Land with us. She fixed lots of good food for us and when my husband and I went on trips we could always count on Ruth to take us to the airport and pick us up if needed. She and Charlie were in our bible study group and we shared many good things together. What a blessing she was and we enjoyed her family.’ Barb Prilliman
