Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
We pray the love of God enfolds you during your journey through grief.
I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I have known her many years from the church. She was a very kind lady. Always had a smile on her face. When she talked about her children or grandchildren, her face was radiant. She was good friends with my mom, and upon my mom's passing she brought over some soup for dad and the family. Man was it good. I will miss her, but I know one day soon maybe, I will see her again. My prayers are with all of the family.
Thank you Ruth for the memories and the teaching of Gods word.
We are deeply sorry for your loss

Larry, we were very sad to hear about Mom Hall. From the stories you've shared, she sounds like a truly remarkable woman. We know she will be missed.
Ruth was one of the kindest women I knew from Bible Baptist Church. A wonderful smile and she loved the Lord. Today she walks in Heaven, sweet memories.
I am so sorry! Aunt Ruth was a sweet, gentle lady that made me feel welcome! My thoughts & prayers to all of you, Joanne (Hall) Rogers

I am Emma Allen O’Conner’s oldest daughter and so fondly remember Ruth; for my mother so dearly loved her. A very special lady who lovingly walked to the beat of her own drummer. Please accept my most sincere sympathy. Love!
