It's still hard for me to believe Ruby is gone. I miss her everyday. She was my best friend. I often think about all the fun we had back in the day. We always had fun and couldn't wait for the weekends. Love you Ruby now and forever.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. You will be missed Ruby and I shall never forget you or the good times and memories that we shared, not to mention your great tasting pound cake. May glory be to god and rest in peace! Thank you Jesus for allowing me to know this great woman during her lifetime.

My condolences to Ms Ruby's son and family members. Not a single lady who was a customer can say they don't miss her because that would not be true. My name is Annie Robinson and she was my dresser since 1977. I was Always satisfied with her work. No matter what het schedule looked like, she never told me no. Her answer would be "I'll work you in
Always smiling great sense of humour. If I had a question about a new do. She told me the truth. That the Lord will give comfort and strength to go on. Thanks for allowing her yo do my all these years.

I will miss Ms. Ruby she was one of the most sweetest people that I have met. I met her at the shop and she reminded me of my mother. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones. May God strengthen you at this time. She could always brighten my day with her genuine words and smile.

The very first day I walked into Ms. Ruby's salon I knew she was a special lady. She could always say something to make you smile whether you were having a good day or a bad day. Her presence will be greatly missed and she will never be forgotten. May you find eternal peace Ms. Ruby and rest well.
Always in my heart,
