Dear Dean & Diane and families,
Just wanted to say that my love, thoughts and prayers are with all of you! It has been my pleasure to be able to care for both Ruth and your Dad at Sterling House. I remember so well the day they moved in and what a sweet couple they were. It has been so special to me to get to know all of you and I trust you will stop in and pay us a visit when you are in the area. My sympathies are with you and I love you all!!

To the Lindsay Family -- I remember the many times that Ruth helped me select a good book from the old Richwood Library when I was 10 or 12 years old. She took the time to make sure I always found a book(s) of interest to me. Being married to a librarian, I appreciate her thoughtfulness in serving others. I do remember Ruth and Arch "always" being together; never one without the other - a match made in heaven, no doubt. I am sorry for your loss.

I was one of the teaching pastors for the weekly Bible study at the Richwood Senior Center, from 2002 to 2009. Archie and Ruth attended regularly, unless they were in Florida, until about 2008. I really enjoyed their participation and even though I was a Methodist and they were such good Baptists, we shared a wonderful, spiritual, kindred spirit. I'm sure Archie is glad to see Ruth again in heaven. On the other hand, I'm sure neither one of them would be too happy with the government and the way the US is borrowing and spending money. They would say to watch for the Lord's return. But, they don't have to worry about any of that now like the rest us. Their races are run, and they brought joy to my heart many times at Bible study and anytime I saw them at First Baptist or in the community. May the joy of the Lord be your strength as you consider their fine Christian examples.

Dear Sweet Ruth,
She was one of the Kindest Women I will ever know No One like her.
She was a great example
Of the best way one can live
Her generous, loving spirit
Was a daily gift.
And I know that I was privileged
To know someone so dear
I love You Ruth,
Pat

Sending Prayers to the Lindsay Family,Your Mother was a Wonderful ,Kind Person,And Never forgotten ~

Years ago we used to watch Ruth and Arch walking down the street holding hands hoping and wishing that someday we would have that type of love. I will miss you Ruth...

Dean, Diane, Kent and families - What a dear woman and wonderful mother your mother was. Growing up as a friend of Diane's, I was blessed to also share in the warmth of the Lindsay family. Many hours we spent in the "piano room" as we all sang - Diane playing the piano while Arch, who never read a note of music, joined in at the organ. And Ruth selected the music and provided the food afterward. In today's busy world what a treasure and rare union your parents shared for 64 years. Though your mother was not actively in your lives these past few years, she'll certainly always remain in your hearts. Our prayers are with you. Becky & Rob Miller

So sorry for your loss. Your mom was always so kind when I would see her at the library. I enjoyed watching both your mom & dad in their older years, faithfully walking to stay in shape, hand in hand. They were a special couple. She was a special lady!

Even in your failing health your sweet kisses and hugs were greatly apprecaited, and I think you knew that beacuse you seemed to give them at the moment they were needed. I remember dnacing after dinner and you would always just giggle away at me and give me that Look as to say " you silly girl" It is people like you that make my job more than a job.I never dreaded coming into work... I love you :)I wish you could live forever but I know you are in a much better place and are at peace. Now you are with our Heavnly Father and your Husband.
