My deepest sympathies go out to the family. Miss Sammie Ruth and her husband, whom we affectionately called Tyler, were instrumental in encouraging my parents Eunice and O.L. Quinn in becoming faithful members of the 6th Avenue COC in Pine Bluff. I have many fond memories of her and her sweet nature.

Allow us to extend our deepest condolences on the loss of your mother. Losing a parent is one of the biggest losses that can be suffered by anyone. May you find God's presence with you as you journey through the time of grief.
Romans 8:38-39
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
