    Ruthie was always kind to so many people. I spent a lot time with the Sekavec family growing up. They will always hold a place in my heart. Susan and I were passing through Mt Ida a couple of months ago and stopped by the dairyette. Ruthie walked in and gave us hugs and conversation. It was a blessing to get that last shared time with her. Prayers for all of the family now and always.

    Oh, Ruthie. So glad I was able to see you and laugh with you again at the class reunion a few years ago. You were such a good friend so many years ago, and always so cherished even without staying in touch. I wish peace and comfort to all your family and friends. It's so good to see messages from classmates that I've always missed - just to see names and bring back those memories of our childhoods - you've brought everyone back to me and I thank you for that. I'll see you again - I love you.

    Please accept my condolence. I pray that the Great God Above give Comfort through His words at Psalms 94:19 where He says : When anxieties overwhelmed me , you comforted and soothed me .

    I'm so glad Ruthie was able to make it to our latest class reunion. Even though she was really not feeling well, she still made us all laugh. It makes me sad to pass by her house every morning and evening to and from work and there not be a light on. Until we meet again, I love you Ruthie. Prayer for your Mom, Dad, Jeremiah, Logan, Tim and the rest of the family and friends that will miss you daily.
