To Stephanie, Scott, and family,
Ruthie had a wonderful attitude and was a beacon of hope for cancer patients. I so enjoyed visiting with her at UAMS.

She loved you both so much and was so proud of you both. She will be missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. It was always a pleasure to take care of Mrs. Hippensteel when she came into the clinic. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family during this time of mourning. She would want you to dance because she is no longer in pain or suffering. Thank you for allowing me to care for her during her illness.

Dwayne we were so sorry to learn of your loss, may you find the peace you need from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I think of you and the days we shared together while cutting your hair and at Christmas Eve when we both seem to run behind on buying our Christmas gifts. Let me hear from you and if I can be of any help to you just let me know.

Dear Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Ruthie's passing. I worked with her at Methodist and hadn't seen her in a couple of years. I do know that she loved her family, as she was always bragging about your accomplishments. May God give you the peace that passes all understanding. My prayers are with you all.
