Griffin family: we are so sorry for your loss. We got to know Mrs. Ruby when Daniel and Samuel played Little league many years ago. Then Steven found her tennis bracelet at the ball fields and later she came by to pray for him when he was in the hospital (of course she came by and didn't know who was in the room but soon found out!)! She was definitely a Godly women who left a Godly example to those who met her! Praying for comfort, strength and peace as only God can give! Hugs

Please accept my sincere condolences to the Griffin family during this difficult time. There are no words that can ease the pain of losing a loved one. May each of you find comfort and peace in knowing that your loved one is in God's memory, because those who have passed away in death are precious in his eyes. (Psalms 116:15) LD, Rex, Georgia
