I find it kind of ironic that a few days before I was reflecting about a little girl with a terminal illness passing and going home before I could get a chance to even say goodbye to her. Her short life was a testimony of God`s power and grace. She was well beyond her years, but I regretted not being there at the end of this life here. While I am sad of your passing, Mama Ruth, I was blessed to be able to be there to say goodbye before your passing. I will always thank God and praise Him for having Him allow you into our lives. You were tough and tested until the very end, and you never gave up fighting until the final bell was rung (2 Timothy 4:7). In a moment you were physically gone from us, but you stayed long enough for us to say goodbye and God peacefully called you back to Him. We were sad to see you go, but I was blessed to be able to say farewell until we meet again (Revelation 21:4).In Christ,Forest
We love & miss you so much Grand-ma! You are finally at peace and home with Pa-Pa and Preston. It pains me deeply to know that I will not be able to hear your laughter or hear you say that you love me again. Fly high Grand-ma, you are now home away from all the suffering and pain. Till we meet again…you will be deeply missed G Lady” ~ Crystal Adam and Alyssa”
Fly high on your new journey with the Lord. You will be missed here by so many. Lots of love Ruth.
Wenn die Mutter Augen brechen und die Lippen nicht mehr sprechen, dann wird erst den Kindern klar, was ihnen einst die Mutter war.When the Mother`s eyes close and the lips no longer speak,only then the children will realize what their mother did for them.
We miss you Mama Ruth. We`ll see you again one day rejoicing in heaven.(John 14:1-4)
Oh Ruth, so sorry you have left us but I know your pain is gone and now you can see. Be sure to cook up some of that delicious corn bread of your in heaven.love you
Such a sweet blessing to have know you Mama Ruth. I will miss you but I know we will see each other in Heaven one day. My condolences to the family. I pray you find peace knowing your Mother is with God.
Ms. Ruth, I will miss seeing you on the front row at church. You are such a sweet person. Have fun with Jesus.
I grew up with Vicki Gibson Bartholomew and we were/are best friends for many, many years. My love and sympathies go out to Vicki, Donna, and all of the family at Mrs Gibson`s passing….she was a sweet and loving person and she is no longer suffering but in the tender arms of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. God bless you all.
