  1. To the Baldwin Family. I am so sorry to hear about Ruth. We had so many great times over the years singing and fellowshipping together. I will always remember her singing. I am in Florida so I won’t be able to be there, but you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love to your family. Pat Roberts Grogan

  2. Ronnie, Danny, Mike & entire Baldwin family: I was so sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. May God wrap his loving arms around you and give you comfort at this difficult time. Miss you all very much. God Bless!

  3. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Baldwin Family for your beloved Ruth, Wife, Mother & Grandmother of all of your beautiful family. May God give you peace, comfort and strength in the following days and beyond. We lift you up in our thoughts and prayers. With Love, Bill/Karen Carter-Asheville, NC

  4. Our prayers go out for all of you, for this loss of wife, mother, friend. We have you in our hearts and minds during this time and after.

  5. What a wonderful life she led and gave life to her children, and the entire Baldwin extended family. She will be much missed by family and friends.

  6. I am so sorry to have read of your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. Something that I have personally found to be of great comfort is what the Bible says at John 5:28, 29 as well as Revelation 21:4. These verses show us that soon God is going to bring about a resurrection of our loved ones as well as do away with all causes we have for suffering including sickness and death. Knowing this has always comforted me and it is my sincere hope that these thoughts comfort your family as well. Again I am so sorry for your loss.
