Her family moved here from Kansas in 1962 and they attended my church, Bethany Assembly of God. We were the same age when she moved here - 12 years old, and we became friends.
After she got married she moved away and I rarely saw her. The last time I saw her was at a friend's funeral. That was two months ago. Who could ever have known that in two months' time she would be gone also.
This is a picture of our combined junior high Sunday School class, probably 1962 or 63. I am in the back row - fourth girl from the left. Ruthie is the fifth girl, right next to me. Most of these kids were in the youth group also. It's hard to explain what a bond we had with the kids in our youth group at that time.
I still feel that bond, all these years later.
