“My deepest sympathies for the entire family. I only knew Ruth for a short while but she always made me laugh and had funny stories to tell. Bless Ruth in the Lord’s house now and may her memories of life and laughter live on with all her loved ones. “
“I am sorry to hear of Mrs. Baker’s passing. I met her at St. Mary’s while visiting there and caught up with her again at Bayside. She always had a story to tell and a laugh to share. She used to tell me she lived at Bakers Acres. She will be remembered fondly. “
“My family has known Sis. Ruth Baker ever since I was a little girl. When I returned to the church, she welcomed me with open arms. She had a way with her that would get anyones attention, but her heart was in the right place. She truly loves her husband, Bro. Baker and she sorely missed his since his passing. I am glad to know the she is with him at this very moment and with Jesus her Lord, the two loves of her life. My heart goes out to her family and love ones at this difficult time of her passing. My love and my prayers are with you. May the Lord put His loving arms around each one of you and to know that He is always there for you.”
“I’ve known Ms. Baker ever since I was a little girl because my grandparents(George & Eloise Combs) & Mrs. Baker lived right around the corner from each other. I remember calling her Mrs. B. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her! God Bless!”
