Our love & compassion go out to you and the loss of Ruth... 
Sincerely, Bonnie & Lloyd Garcia

Bob, my heart aches for you and your family. I will always remember Ruth with such fondness. I know that she is with her Maker now. My prayers and thoughts are with you in these difficult days. Love, Jeannie

So sorry to hear of the passing of Ruth! What a spirited fun-loving woman! She will be missed greatly.

We go so far back, I don't remember when we met. It was an honor to know her and her family. God Bless You and ease your pain. Was so much fun playing tennis with and against Ruth. You always knew you were in for a battle if you were unlucky enough to play against her. It was great playing on the same team with Ruth when we won Nationals in 1992. She will always be remembered with fondness.

Robert, Bobby, Scott and your extended family. Deepest condolences during this difficult time. Keeping you in prayer. For the short time I knew Mrs. Kohler, I new she was very special. God Bless.

Ruth was more than a friend to me, she was part of my family. Living as neighbors for 40 years, watching our kids grow, playing tennis, having our monthly "fun" nights, going to church together, and just having someone to talk to --- these are things I cherish and will miss. I will miss you, Ruth! I thank God for giving you to me as a friend. I send my love and prayers to Bob, Bobby, Scotty and family.

Bobby, My thoughts and prayers are with you. I feel for your lost and as myself lost my mother and thought the world would stop. I know you felt the same about your mother. Your faith is strong and both you and I will meet up with our mothers again in Heaven. I hope your Dad is doing well. Love you and keep God with you.

Scott and Family, 
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. I know how hard it is to experience this as we just had my father's service Friday. It does help us that we are believers and know they are in the arms or Our Lord, now. Still, we miss them so very much. I pray for you and your family during this time, and especially for the little ones that they may have wonderful memories. Karen Fox

Bob, boys and family 
Ruth was a delight to be around, always fun with a lot of spunk, and a great competitor in tennis and life. I know you are missing her but I also know you are comforted by knowing you'll all be together again. Peace and comfort to you all. Judy Stahl

My heart is aching from the loss of such a good, dear friend. I will always remember the great times we had as tennis partners and the great talks we had as friends. My thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time. There was never a doubt that Ruth's family was absolutely the most precious thing in her life. We will always have great memories.

Scott, Bob, Bobby and family, I was very sorry to hear about Ruth. She really meant a lot to me when we met while I was in high school. My memories of her still make me smile. She put up with a lot from me while we were teenagers, considering how much time I spent at your house all summer. Pete and I still talk about Bob and Ruth every time we get together. Like y'all I sure 
wish I could have seen her one more time.

My Dear Uncle Bob, Bobby, Scott, Julianna and Precious Gage and Guy, 
 You all are being held so close and dear to our hearts in prayers and thoughts during this time. Our hearts are also filled with grief over this precious lady who will forever be loved and her memories treasured. she had a heart of gold and more energy that most envied. As a niece I can remember wanting to be just like her, look like her act like her and every thing. My boys will always cherish the times at play, it never crossed their minds she was not their age, just a play mate when she came to town. And o the races that would take place with her and daddy around the pool and even in the pool. Such special memories. We are so sorry that we cant be with you during this time,but please know we are there in thoughts and most of all our prayers. We love you all dearly.We pray that God will cover with his wonderful grace and carry you thru . We love you !!! Love Mark,Robin,Jordan,Josh and CAroline Peavy

Please accept our most heartfelt condolences. I will always remember growing up in Byromville and being so close to Aunt Hettie's family. I would always get so excited when Ruth and Bob were coming home for a visit. I will always hold those memories dear. 
God bless and comfort you all.

Such a sweet and caring mother and grandmother. We have only known her a short time, but it was our extreme privilege. Our condolences to all her family.
