Dear Rosburg family,
Please accept my deep regrets for your loss. Death is a enemy and brings only pain grief and I felt this when I lost my whole family to it. But I found hope and comfort in what Gods word the Bible says at John11:11 and Mark5:39 that they'er just asleep and Jesus states at John5:28,29 that I'll see them again and this is what helps me get through each day because I miss them so much. I do hope that by your reading these scriptures in your Bible that you'll find hope and comfort also for this is my purpose in sharing this with you for not doubt you miss your loved one also. Thank you for taking time to read this and I do hope it has helped in some way. Please know I share your grief. Sincerely, Gloria Mosley

Ruth and I were friends all through school and after. I stood up for them when Bob and Ruth were married by a justice of the peace in 1947. She was a great friend and a beautiful person. She will live in my memory.

I had worked with Bob and Ruth for 10 years until Bob passed. Then Ruth and I worked together the last 18 years as her financial advisor and friend. Ruth will be missed very much. In my business there is usually a client you refer to as wishing they could all be like that. Ruth was this person. We had some wonderful conversations over the last 28 years. Her famous line when I would ask her how she was doing was "I'd complain but it wouldn't do any good, so I guess I can't complain as I do feel very fortunate" Say hi to Bob for me Ruth. Jeff
