I will always remember your sweet and gentle caring ways. Plus the cheerful smile you wore everyday and generously gave to everyone. You will be truly missed here on earth but I know Bobby is grinning from ear to ear to see your face. You were so thoughtful and giving of yourself during his time of pain. I know that your not feeling any pain standing next to Jesus, Bobby, and George. Your in God’s house now where wonderful sweet and kind people go to be when they are truly blessed. I love you Ruby.

Clay and Iris, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. May your wonderful memories of Ruby help get you through this difficult time.
I am so sorry to hear about this. I am truly saddened by the news. I pray that you are comforted by sweet memories of your time spent together.
When I think of Ruby, I hear her laughter.
Amy,
I was truly saddened to learn of your Mom’s passing… she was such a pleasure to work with. I enjoyed our many conversations about what we would do if we won the lottery and always wished each other “good luck” on lotto nights and were disappointed when we both showed up for work the next day because neither of us won anything. Please extend my deepest condolences to your family during this sad time.
Regards,
Tina
Our deepest sympathies to Clay and family.
Cannot attend services today and so saddened to hear the news of this beautiful and sweet lady. Always happy and positive and sending my prayers to you, Iris and your family. I know it will be a celebration of good and happy times! Wish I could be there.
