Guestbook

  1. It has been my pleasure in this life to have had Ruth in my life and in our family. She spread many a feast from her kitchen with her loving hands and invited us all to her table. Not only did she love serving us her delicious food, she also sewed for us, remembered all our birthdays, came to all our celebrations and truly kept our family all together after the loss of our own mother with her marriage to our dad. Her passing has left a void in my life and I miss her very much. I am so grateful that a loving God has provided a way for us to be led and guided by Him in this life through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ and later to live with Him and our loved ones forever and ever! I Love You Ruth and all the memories we made together. May God continue to bless us and our families and cause us to be a blessing to all those around us.

  2. I have heard wonderful stories of Nanny Ruth for many years from my dear Strutton friends. I was so glad that I recently got to meet her at Sarah's wedding. My prayers are with all of you in this time of loss. She is rejoicing in the presence of her SAVIOUR!

  3. I am sad to hear of my Aunt Ruth's passing away. I have very fond memories of her all through the years. She expressed her love for her family to me many times–telling me how the children were doing and how very proud she was of their accomplishments. Linda

  4. Just recently found out about the loss of your mother, Sorry for your loss and for not making it to show our respect. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
