Mom, I so enjoyed our frequent phone conversations. You were always such an inspiration to me. My favorite saying of yours was "I pray for you every day" because I knew you meant it and I knew the Lord honored your prayers.  I will deeply miss you, but I know you are still watching over me from heaven. Love, your daughter, Debbie

To Janice Menzies and Family,
I know how much your Mother, Ruth meant to you, please accept my sincere sympathy and hope you find peace in her memory.
Sincerely,
Your Friends at The Rancho Tehama Community Foundation

Ruth is an angel, I'll miss her heart warming smile, But I'll see her again in heaven, and she'll have the heart warming smile and a hug, she always made me smile no matter what, she helped me through my cancer, cause she had been there and new, I love you Ruthie [I always called her Ruthie] Pray to see you again soon Love Always Pat & Family

Your mom was an intricate part of our community and our church. I will miss her beautiful smile. I can see her and my mother  singing and praising together for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Mom prayed for me while we both were in the hospital.  Now, we both are out and transformed.  She will never be old or in pain again.  I feel so unworthy of Jesus' help to me through Mom. She prayed that Dave and I might have life and we do. We called on Mom when we needed someone to pray.  She was a soldier who died still doing battle.  I love her. Karen

I know this holiday will be very hard. Love & prayers go out to the Burch family

I will miss Ruth very much.  She was always so kind to me.

I feel very fortunate to have had a Mother that cared, loved and was immensely dedicated to all of us children growing up. She fully supported us in whatever endeavors we chose and continued that love and support for us including her grandchildren her entire life.  Miss you Mom

I'll always remember Ruth's beautiful singing in the Calvary Temple Choir. It's good to know she's now singing with the angels of heaven to her Lord and Savoir.

My mother was the best mom there was.  She was always there ready to help any way she could.  We down here will miss her a lot, but she is having a reunion with my father and all who went before her.

Ruth was a very sweet woman, she served her church and was a wonderful christian!  She was an example for everyone!  I know she is comfortable in heaven with her husband and loved ones, looking forward to see you again!

My mother Ruth has always been a solid prayer warrior who never ceased in her prayers for me and my family.  We will all miss her and her gentle spirit.  God decided to take her home. I look forward to seeing her again on the other side!

Ruth was such a wonderful Christian example to me.  I will always remember her deep devotion and commitment to our Lord Jesus. Thank you Ruth for living your walk.  See you again in Heaven.

I very much appreciate Ruth's willingness to be a faithful servant to the Lord. That attribute was seen in her many years of serving as Treasurer of Rancho Tehama Community Church.

I am writing a tribute to my mother in law Ruth E. Burch. She passed away on 11.28.12 at 0130. she was one of the most Godly Christian women I have ever had the privilege to know. I have been her son-in-law for 32 years. She taught her children in the ways of the Lord Jesus Christ, God almighty. We will miss her; she was an inspiration for Good. We know she is with the Lord, thank you to those of you who knew to pray.

We are going to miss Ruth with her wonderful sweet spirit.  Thankful she is in heaven with her Lord and Savior Jesus.

I remember how Ruth would tell me that she prayed for my son Bobby often.
I am sure that her prayers made a difference in his life as his life has really changed for the better. She was a great woman of God and an example to us all.  She will be missed.
In the love of Christ
Toni Warner

Ruth and Carl are together again.  The thought of that brings a smile too my face through the tears.  She was a very courageous woman through all sorts of advesity.  We will all miss her very much.
Mike and Teri Spoor

Ruth was one of the sweetest women I have ever known.  Her quiet and gentle spirit was always present, even when she wasn't in the best of health.  She truly showed the light of Christ in her life at all times.  I will miss her greatly.  May you enjoy the Lord in abundance, faithful servant!  My love to all the family.
