I got to know Ruth while she was a volunteer at St Francis/Kendrick hospital. What a sweet lady. To the Holder family I am sorry for your loss.
Carolyn, Debbie, and Jeannie…..I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I know this is a sad time for all of you and your families, but I truly believe she is now with Jesus and reunited with William Howard, and that we will all be with them soon enough sitting at Jesus’ feet! What a promise we have in Him!! Love and hugs to all. You are in my thoughts and prayers!! ❤️❤️ߙϰߙϢܝ️
Thanks Janie, love you.
Carol, Debbie, Jeannie, So sorry to hear of Ruth’s passing. Your family is in our prayers. Our family has fond memories of Ruth. W.L. and Ada always remembered the good ol’ days growing up together as kids in Paducah, KY. Ruth and the bunch of kids had lots of fun with their get togethers and country parties. When W.L. decided to move his family north to Indiana, Ruth and William welcomed him like family to stay in their home for a few weeks. It was great to have Paducah friends here in Indiana after we moved up! I know Ruth will be greatly missed here. But, today, she is rejoicing with her Savior in heaven. May you know God’s presence and strength and comfort as you grieve. Love, W.L. Lawrence, Steve, Judy, Diane, Melissa
Thank you so much, love you.
