Happy birthday Granny. God’s peace be with you. I miss you so very much. Love you always. You live on in my heart and mind. I am so blessed. 

Mom, today you've been gone four years.  Time has not made it easier without you.  You continue to be so missed by your family, friends and those who knew you.  More friends have passed, more family have passed, some so young.  Hopefully you are all together in heaven. So much has changed since you left us.  The memories are often spoken of.  You left a real void in our lives.  I still struggle with your loss but I want you to know that because of my experience I have become a grief facilitator and hopefully am helping others in their grief process.   My love for you is never ending.  Thank you for all the lessons you taught me and the christian  faith you instilled in us.  Without it we couldn't have survived.   Rest in peace sweet mother.   Eva❤💔

You brought me to the Garden of the Gods I was mesmerized Thank you 🙏 for all the neat places  you took me and shared oh the fun days we had 😘

Granny the seeds you planted about Father God , our Lord Jesus , and the Holy Spirit live in your Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren, and even now in your Great Great Grandson Dominic. We love you now and forever. Glory to God 🙏

Granny,
I love you and miss you everyday. Donald and I enjoyed spending your last days with you
You would be so proud of my dad and how nice your house is looking to sell which he is much like you always caring and always thinking of others. You never let anyone go hungry and loved Donald and I and you always had a smile on your face even till the day you went to be with the lord. I love you granny and cant wait to be in heaven with you one day
I loved you then and I'll love you always. You were always a great support. I miss you everyday. I know you are smiling down at my dad and you are his strength and mine also. Words cant express the emptiness I feel knowing your no longer up the road for me to come and talk to as you always had the best advice
I love you, Mary louise Martinez-Browder and Donald Browder

Micheline, my wife, spoke for both of us; but I also wanted to add a little something about Ruby, our next door neighbor since 1993.  I  liked and enjoyed her and always felt welcome in her home; she was a unique blend of being feisty, powerful, yet always loving and soft within.   I also enjoyed her family members.  it was quite obvious how much she loved them, and was loved and respected by them as well.   I will miss her, and appreciate having known her.  

Dear Friends and Family of Ruby, 
I’ never had the pleasure of meeting this dear woman. And I’m a little sad about that. Eva Thiel is my sister-in-law and I loved hearing her talk about her mom. Eva’s whole face would light up. when she talks about her. This is what a know about this precious woman. She lioved her family sooooo much. She was a giver. She was strong. Self-less. Loved Christ. She was an amazing cook. I could go on and on but she Loved well and was loved.   You who loved her are very blessed to know this amazing woman. 
Love and Sympathy, 
Colleen Thiel

Barry and I have had the pleasure of being next door neighbors to Ruby for 25 years and loved to talk to her and seeing her walking her dog and sometimes meeting her in our garden.  She was a dear Lady, smart, strong and with utmost dignity. She will be very missed by the two of us and my daughter Lisa. We met many people in her family that we liked also specially Mary Ann and Alan who lived some years with her. Wonderful neighbors.

Granny, you will be missed greatly.  What a fine example you have set for us all...a hard working, loyal, loving, giving, kind, generous and God fearing woman. My little Granny, may you Rest In Peace with my mama, uncle Bobby and all of your loved ones that have passed on. May you never feel pain again. Thank you for the joy you have spread in this world, and for your beautiful infectious smile and big, big heart. Until we meet again, remember I love you. Kiss my mama for me...my sweet angels. 

My beautiful mother's life force has depleted and in that moment the Light within our family dimmed, which has a tremendous impact on our village.  In the still of the night the village wolf howled the sound of homecoming. The still waters listened and the forest bowed their boughs in loving grace that an earth angel had crossed the rainbow bridge. To be birthed is a great gift; what we do with our lives is our gift to the world and and expression of our love to our birth parents.  To be loved is the greatest gift of all.  To love unconditionally is to let go completely and totally where doubt has no passage. Love cannot be counted our measured, rather it is felt, absorbed and expanded in every breath, every step and every turn.  They take the love with them and mothers are always connected to their children through that umbilical connection; these were some of the last words I spoke to my mother. So, she took a whole lot of love with her and she will always be connected to us; that in itself is comforting.  
Someone's leaving sometimes feels like the greatest pain we have ever suffered. But our relationships do not die, they just change form. Faith means knowing that no one is ever really gone. Mama, thank you for loving me. I'm missing you already.  See you in my dreams. 

You greatly forfilled a long and very puposeful life to the fullest indeed, even to the very end a special radiants still graced upon your face, the honesty of your life was a gentle glow shineing thru your eyes from your soul, every person you shared time with was blessed by your warm and loving presance, you gave more then you ever knew you were truly a Gift from God in the most genuine ways, and now that your time has finished here you left behind great strength and courage for all of us to continue on the gift that keeps on giveing you graciously gave to all ,your life was like a diamond sparkling  bright for all to see thank you for your legacy it forever lives and breathes deep within the core of our hearts, you showed us perseverance in its greatest form, and the most amazing  gifts you gave were those inwich that can never withold a price , your life was countless beautiful

 moments and now even more, thank you for being you, you are more precious than rubys you are free to fly away ,no more pain just endless blue skys i know heaven has welcomed you well and the many lives you touched have forever been deeply engraved with a love that never fades, and for all who knew you best love you more then words can  express we long to embrace you again forever beyond hevens eternal gates.  Until we meet again granny I love you and miss you very much. And thank you for teaching me so much about jesus and all our laughs together

God looked around his garden
 And He found an empty place.
 He then looked down upon this earth,
 And saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you
 And lifted you to rest.
 God’s garden must be beautiful
 He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering
 He knew you were in pain
 He knew that you would never
 Get well on earth again.

He saw that the road was getting rough.
 And the hills are hard to climb,
 So He closed your weary eyelids
 And whispered “Peace be thine”.

It broke our hearts to lose you
 But you didn’t go alone
 For part of me went with you
 That day that God called you home

 I know how much you love me, 
As much as I love you
And each time that I think of you
I know you will miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without you
I will try to understand
That an angel came and called your name
And took you by the hand

I know your Wish is that we Smile
And Celebrate you today
And Remember your in Heaven
with the Lord this is where you
decided to stay

So when tomorrow starts without you
I know were not far apart
For every time we think of you
You are right there in our hearts

I not only lost my Mom but I lost
my Best Friend.  Rest in Peace
my Sweet Mama ......

The words you spoke so wisely
Have never been so clear.
All the lessons you have taught me,
Still remain in me right here.

You never said “I’m leaving”
You never said Goodbye.
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why.

I know this isn’t possible,
But it’s hard to think it so.
The smell of your tortillas
The magic of your special red Chile
And frijoles I will never again know.

Thank you, Granny,
for teaching me of the Lord
for now, Jesus watches over me.
As it broke my heart to lose you
but you didn’t go alone,
A part of me went with you
The day God took you home.

Things will never be the same
With you not here today and though
It hurts so badly I will smile
Whenever I hear your name.

Goodbye my dearest Granny
For my heart is broken so, one
day I’ll be with you and there 
will never be a tear seen a flow.

I Love you forever Granny
You were the best Granny
A man could love as I do so.

Kevin

I'm very blessed to have had such a loving  Grandmother and I will never forget our last time we talked when I came out to visit you before you passed, that was really special and all never forget it. I'm glad your not in any pain anymore and your with your heavenly father.  You will be missed but never forgotten please give Chico a big hug and kiss for me. It was really special to me that my children had a chance to have such a special bond and relationship with you.. most kids never get a chance to meet there Great Grandma.  

RIP Grandma Martinez  |  We love you with all our hearts - David Jr, Nanette, Damaris and Monet Valdez

Granny:
 
We wish we could see you one more time
Come walking through the door
But we know that is impossible
We will hear your voice no more.
 
We know you can feel our tears
And you don’t want us to cry
Yet out hearts are broken
Because we can’t understand why
Someone so precious had to die.
 
We pray that God will give us strength
And somehow get us through
As we struggle with this heartache
That came when we lost you.
 
RIP Grandma
I Love You❤️
