Ruby was my dearest friend and so much more I will treasure and remember her forever. I am so blessed to have known her and she was so special to me. Life will not be the same without her to share some days with but I'll smile when I think of her.

Pat & other family Members, I just learned of the loss of your Mom. I did not know your father was deceased or that she had cancer. I'm so very sorry! She was such a wonderful lady... always thinking of others...and a joy to be in her presence. Pat I know, other than being Mother-Daughter, you were great friends. May God be with you in a very special way now, and in the days ahead.Your friend with love.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Ruby. She was one of a kind. I enjoyed working with her. After moving to Vermont I would tell so many stories which included her. She gave me so many little slips of flowers and bushes. They are still in the yard where I once lived. I will always remember her smile and her wonderful spirit. God blessed you all.
