During Ruth's last hours here on earth she had her family and friends by her side singing praises to God knowing that she was free from Parkinson's, free from falls, free from hallucinations and free from the trials of this earthly life. Ruth was an influence on so many people and has led so many to Christ, I am certain she walked through those pearly gates and Jesus said "well done my good and faithful servant." As we mourn for her, we rejoice knowing that she is free in Jesus arms.
