Clevie, Marty and Family,
I was saddened to learn of Mrs. Ruble's passing. I have special memories of both Mr. and Mrs. Ruble and the times that I spent with your family. Mrs. Ruble was one of the most caring individuals that I have ever known. I, so admired her kindness towards everyone. Quite often she will cross my mind when I am doing mundane things like folding laundry as she taught me the "proper" way to fold sheets. That memory always brings a smile to my face. Wishing you great comfort during this difficult time.

I have some good memories of Pauline & Raymond. At Christmas time and around the Sunday dinnertable.When Seth was a just a baby and making messes & Pauline saying, Oh Vickie don't worry I'll clean him up. That was a lifetime ago,yet some days it was only yesterday. Thank you Judy for all you do. And to my good friend & special "sister" Marty, I'm thinking of you. May all of you think only on the good times. And may you all find peace.

Dear Susie and family, I'll always remember your mother's cheerfulness and energy! She was one of my favorite Mom's in Roanoke. She was one of the kindest persons I knew, always looking out for the occasional stray cat and just a joy to be around. I never knew her to have a bad day or raise her voice, even when she should have because we weren't exactly saints. She'll be sorely missed.

Love and comfort to you, Kim
