Our hearts go out to the family of Mrs. Ruby. May GOD keep you near during your time of grief. Love Mamie L. Howard and Family.

I will miss her as a colleague and a friend. May God grant peace to the family. Dorothy Davis (Minor H.S.)

My deepest sympathy is extended to the entire family of Ruby Hood. She and I were co-workers at Westfield High School (no longer exists). We will miss her very much. She was a wonderful friend and neighbor. Sallie Ephraim McMillan 856 McCary St. SW, Birmingham,AL 35211

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
