Ruth was just such a sweet lady!!  Miss her.  Good family.

Lester and Bill, I just recently heard of your Mothers passing and want to extend my deepest sympathies to both of you, and your families. May the kind soul of your mother be at peace with our Heavenly Father.  My thoughts, and prayers are with all of you. 

To Lester and his family,

Lester, I know giving up your mother is the hardest pain in your life at this time, but my thoughts are with you. Remembering our working days back years ago at BFI brings back good times and great memories.  I know my mother enjoyed getting to know your mom during their time at Contact. May the Lord bless each of you during this period but know that your mother is at peace with Him now. 

To the Franklin Family,

Alan and Lois Jean Lawson are praying for you as you go through this sad time with the loss of a mother and a Very Good Friend. Lois Jean worked with Ruth for many years in Contact and enjoyed the friendship. Alan worked with with Lester at BFI many years ago and knew his closeness with his mom.
Our prayers are with all the family and God Bless!

Bill and Lester I am so sorry  to hear of your Mother's passing ,I  thought the world of her and will miss her so much .You and your families  are in my prayers.

To the Family:  I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Ruth was so very kind to me and to our family over the many years that we all attended Highland Baptist Church and, to me, for many years after as my family and I moved around the southeast. Her support of me, in particuar, meant so much. Her voice was so reassuring and encouraging. I am sad that I couldn't be there when she may have needed me, but I am grateful for the times we did share. Please accept my deepest sympathy.  May she rest safely in the sweet, loving arms of God. Anna S.
