I am so sorry to hear of Ruby's death. She was a wonderful lady who cared so much for everyone. She use to cut my hair when I was growing up as a child. I loved her so much she always had kind words for everybody. Rest in Peace.

I was saddened to learn of Ruby's death. She was simply a wonderful lady who cared so much about her friends. My family thought the world of her. They loved working with her at Lee Hall Baptist Church...and I am most grateful for all the love and support she gave Mom and Dad.
Sincerely,
Gordon L. Gentry, JR.
