I know you will take comfort in your wonderful memories of her and in her long well-lived life.  Please know our  prayers are with you all.  Special love and prayers are with you, Fran, my sweet sister-in- law.  We love you.

Jim Fran and Sherry:
You guys have been blessed to have had such a great mom. She was a great influence on so many of us at Benoit school. Our prayers are with you.

Ruth was my sister's, Kathleen Steele Cooper, best and life long friend and I have fond memories of our young lives in Shuqualak as well as  our special friendships much later.  She always called me James Tyson. I will miss her sense of humor. My condolences to her family.
