Kelby and I are truly sorry for your loss. Ruth was a very giving person and loved Jesus with her whole heart. We loved seeing her smiling face when we would go see her! She will be missed but we know that we will see her again when we get to Heaven. May God bless you all during this very difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Ruth was a fine Christian lady and will be missed. She was always busy doing things for other people and was generous to a fault. We shared some good times, lots of stories, ballgames, and great fellowship together. She loved blizzards, the DQ type, and when I would bring her one she acted like she had just received a bag of diamonds. She is with her Lord now but will be missed here more than she might have known.

Ruth was a classmate of mine both at Lockwood Jr. High and Billings Senior High. It wasn’t long ago we came in contact with one another again. Through all her correspondence, it was not difficult to learn she loved the Lord. Her giving heart was one indication. What a sweetie she was. I will miss her. My condolences to the family.
In His Name,
