It is with a heavy heart that I send our condolences to all those that loved Aunt Ruth. I am very sorry I could not make the services but I have been thinking of her and praying for all of you since I heard. Aunt Ruth is a family friend going back to my grandparents, La Vern and Edna Gifford. She taught me the value of hard work. It was Aunt Ruth that helped me develope my work ethics. Aunt Ruth and Mary Ann were a very important part of my life growing up. I will never be able to thank them enough for the time they shared with me. Mary Ann, please contact me if you can. I have tried to contact you every way I know how without success. Our sincere sympathy and love. Richard & Judy Smith
