Cheryl - My sincere condolences to all of you. I had a chance to visit with Ruby during my last visits to the Burlington Homestead. It is so very hard to lose a parent.

To the entire Lyons Family - May the love of God and the memories you share help you through this very difficult time. I knew Ruby soley from a business perspective, but it never failed - when we would part company, my heart would always feel much lighter! I so enjoyed speaking with her. Her children can be very proud - not only of their mother, but of themselves as well. She ALWAYS spoke of you! May she rest in peace, and may she watch over and protect you all!

My Aunt Ruby was truly a gem. She was who I turned to when my mother died. I always had a special place in my heart for her as I did for all my aunt's and uncles. But she was my rock when I needed her. She will always be loved and I will always keep my memories of her close to my heart. You will be missed sweet lady. I love you.

We love you Mom. You taught us how to live life honestly, and that Christian living would always take care of you in the best ways. You were the center of our family, the center of our hearts, and you will be greatly missed. You cannot be replaced. Heaven has another angel. You will be with us forever, and we look forward to the day when we see you again... Mitch
