Dear Schultz Family,
I was speaking with my mother this morning and learned of Ruth’s passing. Please accept our condolences and deepest sympathy. 
Ruth was so kind to me whenever we saw each other at church or prayer breakfast. She always seemed genuinely as pleased to see me as I was to see her. 
My mother asked me to share the following story. Ruth often would remember a time when I was a baby, and my parents had asked her to watch me while they went on a short trip. My mother left her with a whole case of baby food, and Ruth told her there was no way I would eat so much. My mother responded, “Just you wait and see.” Before the weekend was even finished, Ruth had to go out and buy more. I was a big eater even then, and I still and today. Just turned 59.
I know that this must be a difficult time for the family Schultz. Please know that there are many lives out there that Ruth touched. May the Lord Bless and Protect you all.
Peace,
John Breidenstine

Jere, and Family,
    I am so sorry to hear of Ruth’s passing. Your family was very special to me in my younger years. I always enjoyed talking with Ruth, and cutting and styling her hair. I will be praying for God’s strength during this difficult time. Fondly, Cathy Duffy

Dear Janis,
Thoughts of your mother center around all the fun we had over the years in Farm Women #24. We laughed together about many funny and crazy things in our lives. Farm Women helped us all remain a little saner during our busy lives of raising families, working, and keeping “the home fires burning.” If only I could remember the stories of you and your brothers and of your children, it would fill many pages.
We shared many meals and snack times together, we traveled together locally and also to some far away County Conventions. Farm Women was a time we all looked forward to being together. We had a deep belief in God and in his powers–we read the Bible and prayed together and we knew the love and security of being a Christian.
May the memories of your mother sustain you in this time of sorrow and loss. May God bless each of you especially your father who was always so very devoted to your mother.
Blessings,
Joanne Smoker
