We could not belive it when we received word of Ruby's homegoing. She was such a special lady in my life. I can just imagine her and mom and Aunt Alma and Bertie renewing friendships. Know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, John and Becky Way

We are so sorry to hear about Ruby. Leland and I always thought a lot of her and Don. It is hard to believe she is gone, but we know heaven is a lot brighter for her going home. To Don and the rest of the family, you had a special person in your life and we will pray that God will surround you and help you during this time of sorrow. Wish we could have come but was not able. But just know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Leland and Janet Goins

To all the Burnett Family,
I want to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. Whenever I would think of Ruby, I would always recall such a beautiful smile and sweet and loving spirit. I know you will miss her so much while we are still here in this world, but I know your comfort can come from God's promise that His children will all be reunited and that Ruby is presently and gloriously with Him. Her desire would be that we should all join her when our time comes.
Love and...

It is difficult for me to believe the time has come for some of the most precious people in my growing up years to be going home to heaven. However, it seems to be happening more and more. Ruby was a second mother to me for lots of years, and I have always felt a special connection to her and to all the Burnett family. JoAnn joins me in sending our deep sympathy and in praying for God's overwhelming and inexplainable comfort for you all.
