    My sympathy to Ruth's family. She always brought a lot of joy to our Fleur de Lis Club. She had an especially good time at our May picnic meeting at Spring Mill. In my memory, Ruth will always be laughing. I was blessed to have known her. Joyce Mundy

    I had the honor of knowing Mrs. Barnes. My sympathy to her family. My wonderful friend Bill Barnes invited me to dinner at the house a couple of times and I felt I had know Mrs. Barnes all my life. She was an exceptional woman. Bless you Mother Barnes for your kindness.
