We are thinking of all your family. We so enjoyed visiting with Ruby when we would bring communion from church. She was a very lovely and gracious lady.

Thinking of you as you go through this difficult time. I hope it is a comfort to know that friends care -- we do! And we're thankful, along with you, that Ruby is whole and happy again. Praise God for that promise!

I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort from John 5:28,29. There it talks about the resurrection hope. Also, Isaiah 25:8 talks about Jehovah getting rid of death forever. I hope that these scriptures can help all in grief.
