I live next door to the Parkes and I’ve come to love and respect both of them very much. They are a true example of commitment and love to each other through sickness and health. I pray God’s richest blessings upon Walter as he tries to go on without Mrs. Ruth.
Deepest condolences to each family member in the loss of this fine lady. She was well loved by many!
Ruth, you will truly be missed. Rest in peace. To the family; I’m sorry I can’t be there I have you in my heart and prayers. Love Doris
Aunt Ruth, you will be greatly missed. I love you. Tammy.
