When I was very young, there was a song that the congregation would often sing to close a church service. “Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above. We share each other’s woes, each other’s burdens bear, and often for each other flows the sympathizing tear.” The Spriggs family would like to express our deepest gratitude to the members of the Pine Valley Christian Church and Rev. Hansen who shared their genuine kindness and fellowship to make the memorial service for Ruthie a wonderful tribute to an extraordinary woman. Adam, Sarah, and I would like to especially thank those who prepared the sanctuary, displays, and meal for our family. It was all perfect! We could truly feel the sincere “tie that binds our hearts…” at Pine Valley.
