We miss our precious mother so very much, but we are comforted to know that she is now with her Savior, Jesus Christ, and her sweetheart, Horace. Thankfully, we do not mourn as those who have no hope. We will see her again!
We want to thank our friends for their thoughtfulness and prayers.
Love,

Sharon and Norman: The services for your mother and mother-in-law were perfect. So soft and tender in every aspect as the services proceeded. It is obvious that Ruth's gentleness touched everyone who spoke. Feeling of respect came through in every comment.##imported-begin##Carl Seaton##imported-end##
Sharon,
Sam and I were so sorry to learn of your mother's passing. It is never easy to lose a parent. I know God will be with you and help fill this void. We love you.##imported-begin##Sam & Cheryl Wagliardo##imported-end##
I can close my eyes and see your sweet Mom coming through the doors of First Assembly, Dallas. She was always so neat and we have missed her these last few years. I'm sorry that we could not attend the services but our hearts & thoughts were there. We love you and will be praying for God's peace to flood your hearts.##imported-begin##Buster & Ginny Redfearn##imported-end##
Sharon & Norman, we were unable to come to Ruth's funeral, but we were with you "in spirit." She was such a gracious lady and we'll all miss her. The obituary you wrote reflected her life so well, and it's comforting to know that she and Horace are united again.
We love you both!##imported-begin##Marge & Howard Marshall##imported-end##

Sharon,
Thought you might like this poem.
"Safely Home"
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! But Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth --
You shall rest is Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!##imported-begin##Mary Wood##imported-end##
Sharon,
My heart and prays go out to you and your family. I know this is a great lost even though we know she is finally home with our Lord and when our job here on this earth is done we will go home to be with the Lord and your mother and all our love ones who have gone home before us.
Sharon when I meet your mother many years ago I remember seeing her as a regal woman and if anyone were to look up in a dictionary what a true lady was a picture of your mother would be there. I thought of her as a woman with grace, a true lady who when she walked into a room made the room glow with her presence. Sharon you were so blessed to have her as your mother and she will be truly missed.
Sharon, my prays are with you know and always.

We want to thank all of Mom's friends and loved ones who have helped us grieve the last few days. Mom moved to the Dallas area soon after the passing of her beloved husband, and our father, Horace. Her heart, however, always belonged to "wonderful Longview," as she called it.
Mom, we miss you so very much and will see you again--in heaven--one of these days!
Love, Sharon##imported-begin##Sharon Seaton##imported-end##
