Mary Ruth was a strong woman who lived her faith. She and Vance made a remarkable couple who worked hard, accomplished much, and enjoyed the fruits of their labor. My sympathy to all the family and a prayer for peace in your hearts at her loss.
I was sadden to learn of Mary Ruth 's death but was also rejoicing knowing that her earthly journey is over and she has transitioned to her heavenly home where she is reunited with her family members. And best of all she is face to face with the Lord. I am sure that He will welcome her home and tell her, "Well done, thy good and faithful servant." I will be praying for God's comfort and guidance for all of you during this difficult time.
She left her fingerprint upon our hearts and lives. A wonderful example of a life lived to please God and His purpose. â¤ï¸
