I always felt so close to Ruby even through I have lived away from Memphis for about 28 years. Got to see her at family reunions and other times and never felt that time away from each other existed. She was one special lady in my heart and she will be truly missed. So sorry for the families loss at this time.

I am so sorry for your loss of Ruby. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. She was more like a sister to me than a cousin. We all lived together in Memphis and have some wonderful memories of her in my life. Loved her so very much.
