What I remember most is when she knew we were coming up to visit when I was little, she would always have fried chicken and green beans ready for us to eat. I always loved her green beans. I always called them grandmas old fashion green beans. Will remember the hugs she would give. She was so strong. She would squeeze you so tight. And she would squeeze your cheeks. Now she is in heaven rejoicing with God and her loved ones.

Mom was a very special and unique person. Through all of the struggles of her life, she rarely ever complained. She would sacrifice her own needs to fill the wants and needs of her family and friends. She had an undying love for husband and children and was always a very forgiving soul. Her strong faith and trust in the Lord was evident throughout her adult life. Mom will be missed, but never forgotten by those who knew her and truly loved her. Even so come, Lord Jesus! Amen

Ruby Franklin is my grandmother. I remember her from the time we visited VA as a young girl and then again the time she and my Aunt Tonya visited us when I was a preteen. I did not know her well, but that does not mean I don't feel the loss of her. Rest in peace Grandma until we meet again.
