Olin, Edna & I was so sorry to read of Ruby's passing. I just now found out about it, while searching for another obituary. Ruby was such a sweet person and we loved you both. We will always regret that we never had the opportunity to get together as we discussed in our last phone conversation. You are in our prayers.

We will miss Ruby so very much, as neighbors and as friends. She was the sweetest and kindest woman we knew in SC. She always brought smiles to our faces, love to our hearts, and appreciation for all the time that she shared with us. We loved Ruby.
It truly is a small world, when you think about it, because on one of my visits with Ruby and Olin, about nine years ago, I told Ruby that we used to live in Sumter, South Carolina and she told me that her niece was a veterinarian in Sumter. Lo and behold I knew her niece many moons ago.
Our deepest condolences to the entire family.
We love you, Olin. We are here for you. She was such a good woman, and you were the best husband and friend to her. It’s impossible to fathom the hurt you hold within, and I wish so much that we could ease this pain and loss for you. Please remember that we are literally a stone-throw away from you, for whatever we can do. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
