Passing of Ina Ruhf, beloved mother of The Rev. Tami Burks

Dear Parishioners,

It is with sorrow I write to tell you of the death of Ina Ruhf, beloved mother of our own Tami Burks.  Ina peacefully and quietly shed her mortal coil in the early hours of this morning after a short but aggressive illness.  Tami is with her family in Pennsylvania until after the funeral.

May Ina rise in glory, and find eternal rest in the embrace of our loving God.  Our thoughts and love are with Tami, her siblings, the grandchildren, and great-grandchild as they navigate the days ahead.

Blessings,
Carol
