I just found out about Ruby's passing. To late to make visitation, but wanted you to know you all have been and are in our thoughts and prayers. As time passes and you reflect on the wonderful memories you have made over the years, especially remember the camping at Holmes County State Park. That was when you all were just kids like your own now. Take time to make memories with them, because one never knows what tomorrow will bring.
May our Lord Jesus comfort and sustain you today and the days ahead.
God Bless, Ruby's friend and Lillie's first cousin.

I am terribly saddened to learn of Ruby's passing. I worked with her for many years at JMC and we always enjoyed a conversation about sewing when we could squeeze it in. She is a wonderful christian friend and will be missed greatly by all.
