It's with great sadness I send my deepest condolences to the family of the Mrs. Ruth Taylor. I began working with Ruth when I started with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension and the Jefferson County Extension Association almost 20 years ago. Never have I met a kinder, sweeter, loving spirit, with knowledge that was above and beyond anyone else! Never a mean thought or word have I ever heard from her. Understanding to a fault. Wisdom unlimited. When she moved from our area, our office secretaries would send photos and notes, because we missed her so much! To the family, I personally would like to say, be of good courage; "earth has no sorrow Heaven cannot heal." And I know she is in heaven, brightening it up with her beautiful spirit and smile! She will be missed. Rest in Glory Ruth, we love you!

Eileen and I were so sorry to hear of Aunt Ruth's death; we were both out of town and could not make it to the service. We really would love to visit with family but don't have addresses or phone numbers. Aunt Ruth so touched my heart when my brother Barry passed away and even though I had not seen her for sometime, she came to his memorial service. If you want to connect, I have provided my email address above. Again, we are both so sorry for you loss. She was such a sweet person with such a loving heart.
