Ruby Mignone "Petey" Black-Spence

When I was a young girl I met Ruby at the Dad's Club. Tim was my first love. Ruby was always supportive of us and loved us unconditionally. She open doors to me that would not have ever been opened. She guided me through the tough times with my own parents and always had a smile on her face or that special touch. ALthough we lost touch with each other for a long time We found each other again just by chance. I enjoyed our visit when I got to see her last summer at her home in...

I met Ruby when I was 17. Ruby was a guiding light, directing me to a better path when I'd met a challenging crossroad. Her motherly understanding and caring pulled me from my thinking, teaching me the real meaning of "good karma" and how truly wonderful a sunset could be. Today I'm a better husband, father and man, because of her and I will love her always.

Ruby was my friend, confidant, my shoulder to cry on, my secret keeper, my ear to bend, my rock. I started living when we became friends. Ruby helped open up so many doors for me. She helped open up the door to my self-respect, self-esteem and self-confidence. She taught me so many things. Ruby "took" me so many places through her Petey's Peril adventures. I think of her and I cry. I know that the tears are for me because I miss her so very much. It will take me time to be able to rejoice...

We knew Petey through the luminance that her loving sister Shirley and brother-in-law Bill transmitted to us. We felt her presence through these dear friends and grieve her passing with them.

Shirley is my friend. Through her emails I've felt close to Petey even though I never met her. I've prayed for her and the entire family. Shirley kept so many of us updated on her condition. Love you all. Sue Douglas,Herrin, IL

Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Petey's family. I could not keep a dry eye while reading all the nice things written about her in this guest book. It is testimony to what a wonderful woman & mother she was. Distance prevented Petey & me from knowing each other better & I will forever regret that. She is in a better place now with her maker. God bless her & may she eternally rest in peace. Loving Cousin, Sonny Mignone & Karen

My relationship to Petey was brief, enjoyed mainly through a sharing of memories about the flowers we enjoyed as children, growing up in Houston's East End. I am assured that Petey is, even now, awaiting a garden full of friends and family who will miss her until they meet again.
Our regards and sympathy to this group and to her husband, children and grandchildren,
June & Richard Zaner

The one I could always laugh with, whether it be over an episode of 'The Simpsons' or life itself. The one who I loved to spend time with, and being the one who made you laugh so hard that breathing was troubling, it was good times, especially at Dairy Queen.
I love and miss you

We shared some great times together will working at HLS&R. I willl miss you. Nan...............
