    Dear Rosemary, Ron, Roger and Families...I was sad to see your mom had passed when I read the obits this morning. I remember Ruth playing the piano at the Weirton Free Methodist Church and then working her at St. John's. She was always a pleasant, lovely lady that I so enjoyed talking to and being around. Know that the Lord is holding you in the palm of His hand right now and many prayers are going to the throneroom on your behalf. I am so sorry for your lost, but we know, one day, we will see her again. Thank you Jesus! Maggie (Brown) Ridgway

We are sorry that we can't be with you today, but our doctor advised us not to take the baby out because of flu season and because of the health scares we have already had with him.

    Jim & Family: What a surprise to hear of the death of Ruth. She was a personal friend and wonderful Christian woman. I enjoyed many church services with her and enjoyed the times we spent together at camp meeting and in her home. We will be praying for all of you as we are unable to get to the funeral home. May God richly bless all of you. Love & prayers, Kenneth & Nellie Rush
