Bill and family. We were very sorry to hear of Mary Ruth ‘s death. We loved her so very much and we had many good times with you two and the LLL group. Our prayers will remain for you all🙏
I was deeply saddened when I read of Mary Ruth's passing. Growing up in West Baptist Church we all felt like family, thus this loss is the same as loosing any family member. I always loved both Bill and Mary Ruth and know the devoted Christians both have demonstrated throughout the years. We can smile knowing that Heaven has added a wonderful new resident, while we are sadden for her absence.
It's my prayer that Bill and the extended family find peace knowing where she is today.
Bill,
Pearlette and I were so saddened to hear of Ms. Mary Ruth's passing. We will always remember her kindness and sense of humor. You and Mary Ruth were such inspirations to us. She was indeed a precious jewel and a blessing to all who came in contact with her. May you and your family take comfort in the fact that she is hearing her Savior say, "well, done good and faithful servant!"
Denise,,,,,hated to see that your mom has passed away. May God Bless you and your children and comfor you in the days to come.
Mrs. Campbell will forever be dear in my heart as one of my favorite Sunday school teachers. Growing up in West Baptist Church was a blessing and we have fond memories of the Campbell family. Our family's thoughts and prayers for your family. Thoughts and Prayers. The Bill and Patty Cash family

I'm so sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dad in 2010, and my mom in 2012. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW
So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
(3) "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. (4)
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".
Denise, Vickie and other loved ones,
I just want you to know that I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother was a good woman. My thoughts and prayers are with you. -Alice
