So, sorry for loss. She was a good lady.
all of our memories of Aunt Ruby are great ones. Her house was where we stayed when we went to Paris and we never worried about not being welcome. She treated all of us and our kids and grandkids just like members of her household! We loved her dearly and will miss her hugs and kisses!
I have been so blessed to know my Great Aunt Ruby. She always greeted me with a hug and smile and told me I was always welcome in her home. Her loving spirit was evident in all that she did for her family. On our visits there, I had the privilege of watching her care for her older sister and my grandmother Voise. She truly was a Jewel.
Mary Beth & Family; I always loved your Momma, dearly <3 She is "Free" Honey...no more suffering. John Kenneth has been waiting along time <3 I rode out past the Farm the other day...we had great times there as kids...:-) 87 years is quite an " Honor" such a wonderful Mother & Grandmother. You & your Family are in my "prayers" today... and in the days to come. God Bless You, Honey. Love Always, Shelly
So sorry for the loss of your love one.
To all of Aunt Ruby children and grand children, our hearts go out to you at this time on the lost of your mother. Donald has been a part of your family for 74 years and but I have been a part only since we married 46 years ago. Don has always spoke of Aunt Ruby with a lot of love. We didn't visit a lot but always loved to go and visit when we could. She always made everyone feel welcome, and always had a sweet smile. I know her family will miss her. My heart goes out to aunt France's,uncle Admiral and uncle Gerald on the lost of their sister.
I am sorry for your loss. Pattie
