We are so sorry for your loss and saying prayers for your family during this very difficult time.

Grandma Ruby was the most kind hearted woman I knew. I loved her with all my heart and she never failed to make me happy or anyone else that she came into contact with. She always worried about everyone before herself and asked for nothing in return. I told Grandma everything. She would always listen, she gave me advice and she kept my secrets. I always looked up to her and I will always live out my life as her as my role model.

So sorry for your loss. What an kind, giving, amazing ray of light to us all Aunt Ruby was. Her light now shines upon us all, when you laugh and smile know that at that moment she is beside you smiling as always. It will be the little things that you remember, those memories are now your treasures. May your Faith, Family and those Memories carry you through your days. My thoughts and Prayers are with you all.

 I just found out myself keep your head up she fought one hell of a good fight for a long time and still managed to smile and make others smile... grandma would talk to her and she was smiling by the end of the conversation aunt ruby was a great lady.

As we sit and discuss mom's life we remember her loving smile, her tender care, forgiving spirit, encouraging words, her laugh...and the list goes on. Mom was truly the Proverbs 31 example...her children rise up and call her blessed...

"I'm proud of you." She never failed to tell me that. With and hug she always said it. When I was stuck in bed sick for years she said it, when I left school to take care of my grandma she said it, when I finally got a car and job she said it. It means so much more that she said it while I felt like I had accomplished nothing. I have always wondered how I could be blessed to know such an incredibly sweet person. I have only met one person to match her kindness and that would be Uncle Larry. Its no wonder how they found each other. One of the stories my mom told me to cheer me up was how Aunt Ruby and Uncle Larry had come to visit me when I was born in the hospital. That I wasn't even a day old and the most wonderful people came to hold me and show me love and kindness. I always hoped that if I had a child one of the first people to see them would be my aunt and uncle.

I remember my Aunt Ruby as always being so sweet and always smiling. She will be truly missed. My prayers and thoughts are with the entire family. May all the sweet memories console you.

Mom was the most talented, loving mother. She is now safely hime in Heaven.
