My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. May the comfort and love of the Lord help you through.
Earl and Family, I was distressed to read about Ruth. I know she has had some health problems for some time; however, regardless of age, health, or any other circumstance in life we are neber ready to lose our loved ones. The only comfort at this time comes from a real Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the manifested cincern of caring friends. Please know we are all thinking of you and will hold you in our prayers.

Earl and Family, Thinking of you with deepest sympathy at this time of grief and sorrow. I remember your wedding and coming with your Mother and Patsy to visit after you moved to Grandview. I hope you find peace and comfort in your precious memories.
Earl and Family, I always enjoyed seeing Ruth and you when I visited Oak Forest Church. I hope it helps in some way to know that others do care. My Brother Joe tells me he remembers you from his days at Hall Fletcher Junior High School.
