My thoughts and prayers are with each of younI remember my family and myself having many memoriable times with him and this Special family he is the one that got us going on trips in the summer to Camp Zion in Missippi and that was a Blessing it was such a Blessing worshiping ourbLord with him and now it is a more of a Blessing knowing he is home with his Lord I Send my Love to each of you
I am saying prayers tonight for comfort for all of you. I remember attending Bethel Baptist Church with Carroll and Lois, back when I was a teenager. In fact, Lois, you were the one who prayed with me in the altar of that church when I was 13, and you helped me pray to receive Christ. I still tell people that a carpenter’s wife helped lead me to the Lord. May our Father God give to you an abundant measure of His mercy and peace in these upcoming days.
(I am the daughter of Leander and Jane Ruth)
Eddie, My heart is with you during this time. How lucky are we to have someone so special that saying goodbye is so hard. Please give your momma a hug for me. We haven’t seen each-other in many years, but I think of you and your family often. May you find peace in the memory of your father. I will always remember his smile.
