      My condolences to the family. I knew “Pigeon” from childhood. She was a very kind and nice woman. I hope the family can find comfort in Jesus promise at John 5:28 & 29.

      We met Mother Ruffin years ago and She was a beautiful woman of God who believed in givingGod all the Glory, Honor and praise!! She was very nice,outgoing and always talked about Jesus!! I’ll never forget when She came to our home and blessed us with some sweet potato pies just because She love to see people Happy. She believed in being a blessing to anyone She came into contact with and She truly loved her family and friends. We will continue to lift Her family up in our thoughts & Prayers.
