To the Durden and Haynes family, my prayers are with you. Mama Durden have fought a good fight, finished her course, and have kept the faith. Now she awaits her crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give her at that day. Family, keep your heads lifted before the Lord because God is willing and able to do the impossible.

Grecian, Linda and family, we share your sadness in the loss of Aunt Rubye. You know we know what it's like to lose a mother. But we also know that brighter days are ahead for those gone on and for those of us left behind. And after we all see Jesus, we shall meet up with them again. God Bless and we love you!

Love to Linda, Ann, Velda, T-Square, Elkie and the Family,
I met Mother Ruby in the Ladies Room of the Potter's House. We met under unusual and hilarious circumstances. My family loved her so much. We will never forget her Christian perspective and love during our son's illness. We will miss her so much.
Love,
