Grandma Ruby, I'm so glad I got to meet you and the family last year on Mother's Day weekend. I enjoyed my visit and still talk about it to my kids and husband. I know the girls met you when they were a bit younger, but they also were glad to meet a new grandma. Rest comfortably and watch down over the family as a guardian angel.

Randy,
We so loved your mother. She had a special place in our heart. We remember the birthday party she had for you at the house off of Colonel Glen and we showed up at 10pm and she insisted on fixing us food, even though we were late. Other memories are hard to forget. She always checked on you at Cadillac and visited with Lynn, which he enjoyed so much.
Take care and god love you, cause you know we do.
