[Editor's comment: I was not privileged to meet or know this outstanding Christian and public school teacher. I am grateful to Hugh Hoyle, an IPHC missionary on special assignment through his teaching ministry in providing discipleship training and targeting unreached people around the world. I have known Hugh and Lois Hoyle for decades. They are top flight people.
It is my prayer that God will bring comfort to Ruth Naomi Eades. She lived a full and fruitful life. May God bless the memory of this Godly Christian lady.]
