Ruth was a friend of many in my family, especially my mother, Velda McGuinn. Ruth lived with my mom,dad, brother and me, for a short period of time many years ago. We all loved her. She was so kind and she watched my children for me on at least one occasion. I pray for you in your loss and may we all see her in Heaven.
We wish to express our condolences to each family member. May God give you comfort in the loss of Mrs. Bradley, knowing she is now with Him in Glory. You are in our prayers.
