Not sure what to say?

A North Belgrade institution is gone but, not the memories: Ruby, Reg and Uncle (Charles) were usually the first to greet us when we arrived at "The Colony" and the last to say goodbye before the long drive to PA. I have fond memories sitting in Ruby's kitchen with my family eating some home-baked treat and listening to stories of the Maine winters and life after the summer folks have gone. Ruby had a generous spirit toward others, and was a friend to our family for 50 years. She will...

Sure isn't the same at home in North Belgrade without our Ruby. I will always cherish all the times we had with her. A very loving lady that took care of us all! My deepest sympathy to Edward, Charlene and families.

We were so blessed to have had Ruby in our lives every summer for 50 years. We are very thankful for all the wonderful memories we have of the many good times we shared. We will miss her love and friendship. Our thoughts and prayers are with all her family.

Ruby was such a very special friend to our family for such a long time. From my first summer (I was five years old) coming to Ellis' Camps with Mom and Dad (Phyl and Bill Iannicelli),and my brother, Michael, Ruby and Reg were a huge part of our summers. Her bright, beautiful smile, her warm hugs and her delicious baking - her blond brownies were my favorite!! - will always be remembered. When you walked up from the cabin to put the garbage in the can and fill up the water jugs, you always...

Aunt Ruby was Maine for many of us folks "from away". How wonderful it was to visit with her in her kitchen; to fill up our water jugs at the spiget, and to feed the pigs with table scraps(way back when) . Aunt Ruby will be sorely missed but we thankfully have many cherished memories of spending time with her.

How can we come back to Maine and not see your smiling face? You made everyone feel like family with your loving ways. For over 50 years you were there for us. We will never forget how you were always ready to welcome us into your cozy kitchen and warm heart . You were like a mother to everyone. We will miss you very much but are thankful for having had your love and friendship. Our deepest sympathy to Edward, Charlene and all the kids who loved their grammy so much.

Ruby was the most beautiful,fun and loving lady whose friendship will be sadly missed by those of us who treasured her company every summer. I picture her in heaven with a piece of fudge for our "angel"Brandi! Our deepest sympathy to all her family.

Aunt Ruby was the sweetest and best great aunt ever. Always looked forward to hearing her sweet voice and seeing her wonderful smile. Aunt Ruby, you will be missed by us all.

Ruby, you will be sadly missed! Its a shame you had to leave, I was just growing so fond of you. I would always wave to you and a big smile would appear from ear to ear. I also remember putting food down and your reply was "oh my, that looks delicious" My tears shed for you and your family. Now your in heaven, where you will pass on your smiles and kindness. Someday Ruby, i'll see you again!
my mother already signed this for me and my sis but i felt a few things were missing about you hun!...
