Ruth Turner "The Phenomenal Woman"

My aunt Ruth was in my eyes The Phenomenal Woman.

She was beyond what is ordinary or usual.

She was exceptional and remarkable.

Her extraordinary achievements made her a standout.

Her Beauty inside and out was beyond measure.

She enjoyed extraordinary popularity.

Most all she puts God first, took care of her family and did not live with a selfish focus on herself. Proverbs:31

A Phenomenal Woman is not determined by a woman’s beauty or whether a woman looks like a model, but whether she has her head on her shoulders, confidence, grace and the ability to not let anything bring her down and most of all she keeps her eyes on the prize which Jesus Christ in Heaven.

Aunt Ruth you have achieved the prize.

Your Loving Niece

To Our Aunt Ruth

As we count our blessings we can't help but think of you

Dear to us in childhood days and all our whole lives through!
Everything seems sweeter just in knowing that you were there
Always feeling you were sincere in showing that you care.
Remember all the happy times, remember all the laughter?

A fairy tale of never ending happily ever afters.
Until we meet again, we know we're always close at heart
No one else could take your place, we knew that from the start
Together we hope all the dreams you've dreamed all have come true

God blessed us with a special gift
because He gave us
you.

Your Nieces and Nephews
