To all of Ruby's children:
Ruby was a special lady. I worked with her at Central Baptist and found out that we shared many aquaintances, both of us being from Wilmore. She loved each of you, dearly, and was so proud of each of you. I know that you will miss her, and I pray that God will embrace each of you, and your families, in His loving arms and comfort you. It was MY pleasure to know Ruby!
