Dear Donna, Celia, Carolyn & Families,
I was so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was such a sweet lady. I remember her catching Billy and I eating cherries in the trees behind the house, saying "your gonna get stomaches if you eat too many". She would always have a smile on her face and ask how you were doing, and never complained about her own aches. I will truly miss her smiling face at yard sales, Big Johns, and Wal-Mart! MAy your family be comforted in knowing that she is at peace with Jr. and Billy. I miss them all. I will keep you and your families in my prayers as I know this is one of the hardest situations to handle. God Bless you all. Debbie Wilkins

If there was a words to describe Miss Ruby it would have to be "Queen of Smile" always. She was one of kind, always wanting to know if everybody in your family was OK, and saying a kind words for you to always remember and carry with you to cherish. Just a few words spoken with that smile will always be a memory for all of us to carry on. Thanks Miss Ruby, you will never be forgotten, you have left so much for all of us to cherish. Our thoughts & prayers are with the family. We love you all!! Bill, Nina Page & Dylan Gresham

Ruby was one of the sweetest and most giving people I have known. She was always upbeat and I never knew her to say one unkind word about anyone. We had spent some special times together this past year and I will miss her.
