My prayers are with the family. Ruth always greeted us all with a smile and had encouraging words at the right time. It was an honor to call her friend and she was truly our VTS Sister Ruth. I have no doubt she is at peace and the Lord will tell her well done good and faithful servant.

So sorry for your loss! Ruth was an incredibly caring, loving, funny individual whom personally helped me grow into the nurse I am today! This world lost an incredible person but heaven got a new angel! She will be missed greatly by so many people. Sometimes in life there is a person who helps people and make such an impact on so many people and don't even know they're doing it. Ruth was definitely one of those people. Love and miss you so much Ruthie, fly high my angel fly high!

For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so through Jesus, God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep. (1 Thesalonians 4:14). Therefore encourage one another with these words (1 Thesalonians 4:18). We will keep your family in our prayers. May God brings you peace and comfort in this difficult time.

Dearest Margaret and family,
I am deeply saddened to learn of Ruth's death following closely behind your brother's death. Please know that I cherish our conversations about growing up with a twin sister and can't imagine how your are feeling right now. I pray that God holds you in the palm of his hand and comforts you and your family during this most difficult time.
