Dear Jerry & Family,
We were so sorry to hear about the loss of your wife. Our prayer is that God would surround your entire family with His loving arms to give you peace & comfort. May He give you strength to face the difficult days ahead.
May God make your days be filled with ease at this time of loss. Ruth will be so missed by everyone who had the good fortune to know her, and I was one of the lucky ones. She loved and was so proud of her kids. And her grandchildren were her greatest joys. God must have had a plan for her, just know that she is with him now.
Our prayers and love go the family on your loss. We have such wonderful memories from when the kids were all young and in school.
