Obituary for Ruth Eleanor Lewis
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. Prov 31:26-31

“Let not your heart be troubled:
Ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father's house are many mansions.
If it were not so, 1 would have told you.
1 go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again, and receive you unto Myself;
That where I am, there ye may be also.”
John 14:1-3
