What a beautiful classy women she truly was.She was a women that truly was an inspiration to all. She battled Cancer,but never gave up! She was a fighter till the end. So many things to say about her life.She truly had a way of touching lives.I'll miss her kindness and her ambition for life. She may be gone from all of us,but she'll never be forgotten.May God bring peace and comfort in the days ahead.Remember,to be absent from the body means to be present with the Lord. She lived a wonderful life and cherished so many along the way.Someday soon,we'll be together again.She is finally home and her race is won.I challenge myself and everyone to keep pressing on. Run the race set before us,looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith...For consider him that endured...lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Hebrews 12:1-3 I have fought a good fight,I have finished my course,I have kept the faith.Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness. 2 Thes 4:7,8 I love you Ruth and I know someday soon we'll all be together again forever more.Hang in there Becky and Sharon,find comfort in knowing where she's at.Her and daddy are finally reunited. Love,Eldon and Kathy Haun
