We do remember Ruth as a very kind and gracious lady and a
wonderful mother and grandmother. Heaven is a better place
for her presence. I remember her graciously hosting Craig and Alice's engagement party and their golden wedding anniversary. She did a great job of raising her children.

May our God of all comfort and peace be with your family during this time of sadness.

We were saddened to learn of Ruth's death. She was a wonderful Christian and a gracious lady. We rejoice that she is now with her Lord anticipating with all Christians the day of resurrection. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Art & Marion Burkman
