    I would speak to Ruth when visiting my mother, she always had a smile for me. No more earthly pain, only wholeness found in the loving arms of Jesus. My condolences to the Sharp family even as you celebrate a life well loved!

    So sorry to hear of Ruth`s passing. I had wanted to visit her and find out more about relatives, we were cousins, through the Johnson`s. She was a fun, loving person, may she rest in Heaven.

    Many wonderful memories of the time we shared with Ruth and Maurie when we were neighbors- visiting, playing cards and enjoying a happy hour or two! Two great people that God has brought together again. My prayers of comfort to Bob & Carolyn and the rest of the Sharp family, Ruth will forever be fondly remembered but her parting will forever leave a void in your hearts. God Bless you all.
