We so love & loved Ruth for how she held her family & friends so near & dear. We knew Ruth through our church in Yakima and Lake Oswego. She was always speaking with such love about her children and grandchildren. Ruth was everone's mother and I don't believe we ever heard one discouraging report ever come past her lips. You could always count on Ruth's perspective being strong and full of faith. She was a worshiper of God, a naturally musical gift of God. She knew how to draw on the presence of God in both prayer and in worship and was thus a ministry of healing in His temple. I am sure many a life were saved just through Ruth's faith and love represented in her smile and twinkle in her eyes. We are so blessed by God to have been in Ruth's life,...accounted for by Ruth herself as one of her own. She made us feel like We were one of her own....and that "feel of her love" will never depart from us. It was God's kind intent to have us experience His all encompassing Love through such an awesome Mother as Ruth. Thank you Father for enriching our lives so deeply through the joy and love we received through your humble servant.
