Went to school with Ruth. I haven't seen her since Jr. High and it's so crazy how a person can still see the face of someone at that age - I even remember her voice, and we didn't hang out together. What we do have in common besides going to school together is our love for Jesus Christ. My prayers for her loved ones here:'(. I'll see you in Heaven Ruth!
