We were always touched by the sweetness Ruth would bring to Blanchard River Church of Christ when she and Larry would visit. One could easily know Ruth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Our prayers are with you, Larry, and all your family.

I/we Daniel and Jean, knew Ruth through our being members of Blvd. Church of Christ in Sylvania, Ohio. Her beautiful voice, I can still remember, when she would sing and Larry would read after her. Daniel would always go to church, even maybe sometimes the day before and set up chairs for the Co-Workers class that Larry would bring the message to us. I, along with Roberta Miller, would take attendance and I think even an offering. Oh my, I could go on and on with memories. My condolence to Larry and family. My Daniel has passed several years ago and that is all I have to say, I hope you read this Larry. Daniel thought so much of you.
