Not sure what to say?

Aunt Ruby we one of the most beautiful people I ever knew in life. She was always helping someone, either baking them an apple cake or making clothes for them or being a real friend and neighbor to them. My daughter Lindsay lived with Aunt Ruby during her first year in college and it was her favorite year. I loved speaking to Ruby on the phone and loved hearing Ruby and my Mom, Mary, talk on the phone. It was like going back in time when people truly cared about one another. I have...

Paul Jr., Steve and Mike,

We will always remember Ruby's loving heart and love for sewing. She loved our two girls, Sherry and Melissa. When they were small she made them alot of their clothes. She was always willing to watch the girls if I could not find anyone else to keep them. Ruby and mom were very good friends and I know that mom will greatly miss her. To our girls, she was "Granny Ruby" and was a big part in their lives when they were little.
We will miss Ruby but no one will be able to take away those...
