-------------------------
From Valeria Young...One of the most precious saints I have ever been blessed to meet finally got to go Home. I know she probably has an entire subdivision up there because they wouldn't have enough room for all of her rewards. This lady would drive around for miles and miles in the country picking up children and taking them to church. She would stack them 3-4 high if she had to in whatever vehicle she happened to be driving. I know she is responsible for dozens of souls being saved. She made sure that we got to church. And, it wasn't all fun and games silliness. She taught the Word of God. She taught it well. And, we listened. One thing this woman did and did well for Jesus planted seed after seed after seed that became so much harvest you couldn't even count it all. I am rather sure that Heaven had a HUGE party for Ruth. I wish I could have seen her face when she caught that first glimpse of her reward. I will never in my life meet anyone more deserving. Well done, good and faithful servant.
