Ruby was a Blessing in my life since i was a child. It was later in my adult years that she mentored me. She taught the Bible in her home and was always patient and loving with me. She helped me any way she could with my walk with Christ. Ruby always told me to read my Bible, that way i could know what The Lord expects of me. I will miss talking to Ruby but i know i will see her again because we are sisters In Christ. Tim , our thoughts and prayers are always with you and the family. God Bless.

I feel the emptiness. I am grateful for the friendship we shared and the long conversations. Even her singing Happy Birfhday to me one year. I know she will be with our Lord and find the peace she probably longed for. Hugs and prayers , Tim and to the family
There is a special place in my heart for you always
With Love. Aunt Helen
