She was a very special part of our lives
She had the "Joy" only a few can speak of
She's graced by the spirit of our God above
She deserved and received our true love.

I'll be checking my phone from now on
To see if I get one of her special texts 'msg's'
Or that distinctive tone in my voicemail
Cause I know what she'll do when she returns
And I know the word God will never fail.
-Sabrina & Leslie

I am sorry to hear of the passing of your mom or shall I say OUR mom. She was the kindest person and loved to visit with family and friends. Just know that I love you and hope I can see you when I come to Savannah soon. My heart is hurting and when I saw the date of her birth I never knew that her and momma was born a day apart in the same year and month. Maybe that's why they were such good friends. You have my deepest sympathy and will continue to pray for you cause I know how much you loved her. Take care and will see you soon.❤❤

Myra and I remember with great fondness both "Aunt Ruth" and "Mama Cloud". Good food, good conversation, and excellent examples in serving Jehovah. They made Jehovah very happy and will again. Proverbs 27:11.

I will truly miss Sis. Cohen. What can I say...everybody knew Sis. Cohen—she was a staple in the congregation. If she wasn’t present you knew that something had to have happened and that she, wasn’t going to be happy about it...that’s how it was, she loved Jehovah, she loved the congregation. Missing meetings outside of being ill or being out of town wasn’t an option—in fact, she’d beat you there. I remember when our congregation moved from 52nd street to Garden City. I was on DeRenne headed towards 516 (not a few times) Sis. Cohen pass me by...always looking straight ahead focusing on getting to the meeting. I won’t ever said that she was speeding but let’s just say..she’d be inside sitting down by the time you got there. I suppose her person Valet parking and Pitt Crew had something to do with how fast she could get inside. When Sis. C. Pulled up there was, if you ever seen it with your own eyes...what looked like a Pitt crew of young brothers waiting for her arrival ...someone would grab the purse (don’t go to far with it now, Baby) someone took her arm to help her in and another would jump in to park her car. (I all happened in reverse after the meeting, every meeting—for years.) Sis. Cohen was spunky—I remember, going to Walmart after the meeting on a Thursday night who was there? Sis. Cohen driving the cart picking up a few items and talking to everybody. She always had the latest fashion in eye-ware . I’d say, you could give me those frames and Sis. Cohen would say, “that’s Vans she get my gets my glasses.” Whenever she’d talk about her kids you’d see a little spark in her eyes she was proud of them and how much they helped her.

When we were assigned to Southeast Sis. Cohen saved my seat every meeting. I’d hold my tablet up to share the scriptures (large print already set for her viewing). In my purse I carried extra candy/cough drops just in case her throat was dry and I knew when to pop up to check to see if Tele-Ride had come. I’ll always remember Sis Cohen wearing one of her famous wraps which I insisted that she must be royalty and she’d laugh. We’ll be laughing again very soon this time...without the walker and the glasses...some better be ready cause I don’t know how we’ll be able to keep up with her then.

Sis Cohen was a strong lady. A Spiritual woman. I will always remember seeing her sitting in her car at the fast food restaurant on MLK, preaching to the people that walked by. Or her preaching to the residents at Stillwell to those who would listen.. I will cherish our talks and her encouragement. I look forward to seeing her again, all brand new! Hang in there Van, Tyrone, Debra and all the family. It won't be long. We love yall!! Will miss her dearly.

I want to say to your family that your Mother was one who you could not forget. From the first time I met her she made me feel like part of her family and allowed me to call her "Aunt Ruth". And always welcomed me into her home. I too got to share those shrimp dinners when arriving for a visit! And I just loved her beautiful smile and infectious laugh! And look forward to hearing it again seeing that beautiful smile again in the new world to come !
Love to you all-Debra,Tyrone and Van.
Thinking of you and share your sadness in the loss of your wonderful Mom.
