I never really knew Mrs. Camp, but she always brought joy to my family every Christmas time when she sang the old spiritual "Little Jesus Boy" at Highlawn Baptist church.
sorry for your loss.

I sang in the church choir with your mother, and went to school with your brother, Bill. So, was very sorry to hear of the passing of both of them. Your mother was a very special lady, so I am glad you had her for as long as you did. Please accept my condolences.

Dear Danny, Philip and I thought so much of your mother. I have very special memories of her warm personality and sweet spirit. I remember how she welcomed me to the choir in 1980 when I first joined. She was a wonderful person. I feel blessed to have known her and to have heard her sing during our time at Highlawn.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Dann, Joyce,Charles, and family,
We are all sorry to hear of Ruth's passing and wanted to send our deepest sympathy and love to all of you.
We have so many precious memories of Ruth and there is another tear in the fabric of our lives.
As others have said, NO one will ever sing "Sweet Little Jesus Boy" as sweetly and sincerely as Miss Ruth. We know this Christmas, she will be singing it in Heaven.
Please know you are all in our prayers, our hearts, and our memories with much, much love.

Danny, I live away from Huntington also, but keep up with the Herald-Dispatch via the computer. I was so saddened to see that you had lost your dear Mother. I didn't know her, but I certainly remember you and Joyce at good ole HEHS and the class of 1964. Sure wish you two would come to our reunions. We have a great time seeing each other and talking over good times. Again, let me say how sorry I am to learn of your Mother's passing. I have lost my parents in the last couple of years, and know how you are feeling. Fond memories, Becky

To Danny Camp & family,
I wish to express my sympathy in the home-going of your mother, Ruth.
We sang together in the choir at Highlawn and had so many good laughs together during special rehearsals during Christmas and Easter programs. She was a very special lady and we have missed her.
The song she always sang during the Christmas celebrations, "Sweet Little Jesus Boy" was never sang by anyone like she could sing it. Since she left the song has not been sung. Each and every year the choir members and many others always recount how much they loved to hear her sing and how they missed her.
God bless you all during this time of sorrow.
In Christ,
Pat

Dear Dann and family, I am so sad for your loss. Joan is sick and won't be able to attend. I talk to her everyday to check on her. I moved away and won't be able to come either. I look after my 92 yr. old Mom. Ruth was the sweetest lady and cousin of mine. Everyone loved her and her sweet voice. Our prayers are with you and your family at this time. She will be sadly missed. She is singing with the Heavenly Angels. God Bless.

HEAVEN'S CHOIR HAS GAINED A GLORIOUS VOICE! Upon hearing of your Mother's passing, memories of our wonderful times together at Highlawn Baptist have been going through my mind. It was my privilege to lead her as Minister of Music in the Sanctuary Choir and Prime Timer's Choir. In her later years, I fondly remember my visits in her home, when she would sit at her piano and we would sing together her favorite songs. A humble lady, your mom never sought for the praise of man however, I join with others who grieve with your loss in praising God that Ruth Camp touched my life.

Dear Danny,
My heart is so sad to hear of your mother's passing. She was such a special person whom I loved from the moment you took me home to lunch when we were in elementary school. She was the epitomy of kindness and Christian love, and I feel honored that I got to spend time with her in choir. Her "Sweet Little Jesus boy" at Christmas will never be forgotten by me nor by thousands of others who had the privilege of hearing her sing it. Know that she spoke of you to me often, and she was very proud of you. I send you my love, sympathy, and friendship!

Dear Camp Family,
I offer sad condolences for the loss of your dear mother.
I have the warmest, fondest memories of Ruth and her sweet voice...I recall her musical offerings at Highlawn Baptist Church...her trio and solo singing and the love which went along with the music. I was priveleged to sing in the choir at the same time she was there, she was a lovely, kind, careing lady, her passing will leave a hole in the fabric of earth.
