Dean and Gary
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and you're family,I know you're family was that of a tight knit one and my family has known you're family for so many many years, It's hard and sad to let go of someone you love so much trust me I know that all to well with losing both of my parents with in two years, as hard as it may seem right now your pain indeed will subside in time, of course that doesnt mean you ever have to let go in fact you most likely will hold on tighter to all those speacial memories, Ruby is with the love of her life and in the presence of our dear Lord, He will protect her and she will never hurt again, One day you all will be back together, If there is anything I can do for any one of you please dont think twice and give me a call.
God bless you all

I would like to thank Ruby for all she and Gigi have done for me and my son (Gary III) their whole life. They gave until they couldn't give any more. They are together once again and are at peace with GOD. I'm very thankful to have had them in my life.

My Dearest Ruby Faye, Time moves so quickly - we were caught off guard,not enough time to express our feelings as a family. I remember as a mere child, you were so tiny when our "Mom" passed away. I had the "Duty", to see you were fed, bathed and dressed. I actually chewed your food first for you, so you could eat. Remembering that now consoles me. You were the baby of the family. I can see you now in your red and white checkered dress having a joyous time playing. Now you are with "Mom" and "Giggie", not enough time again. I love you and will cherish all the good that you put forth in helping others in their time of needs. Not thinking twice of yourself after a shift at the hospital - you would go in the rain if you had too, to help others in need. Love, your brother Bud

To the Gammon Family:
I am very sorry to read of Mrs. Gammon's passing especially at this time of year. It's always difficult to let a loved one go but we always hope it won't come near a special holiday. I'm sure I have met her and just can't recall but I did know Mr. Gammon and he was a very special person so I am sure she had to be also. I am kin to the Gammons and my parents loved them very much. Surely she will be welcomed into our Saviour's Arms for a very special Christmas this year. I'm sure she would want you to have one also.
Sincerely,
