They were the most perfectly matched couple I ever met. Love and hugs to all of you , she was so very special and I loved her dearly!
To the Meeks family, I’m just learning about the loss of your beloved Ruth. She was such a beautiful, loving and caring soul as I remember. May God bless you all during this very difficult time. My prayers are with your loving family. I was given this scripture when I lost Billy. Hope it brings you comfort, too. Jeremiah 29:11-15 Much love, Sharon
Sorry to hear about Mrs Ruth, she was such a great friend for many years to my family, Hubert and Carrie Landrum. I remember her cooking eggs for her little dog. She always had great hugs ❣️
Such a wonderful sweet lady and a great neighbor for so many years. I’ll never forget Ruth & Mom spending hours & days trimming bushes between our homes, laughing & talking the whole time. Prayers to Jim, Mike, Steve, Terrie and all your family.
How beautiful the sight of all of the rescued animals who owed their well being to Ruth lining the sides of the Rainbow as they, and beloved Bill, welcomed Ruth into Heaven must have been! We are praying the thought of that incredible celebration, as well as the prayers and love of family and friends, provides some measure of comfort for Ruth’s loved ones in the days ahead.
Life is so very short on this planet, but Heaven awaits. I am very sorry for your loss…
So sorry for your loss
