Ms. Sims was a precious lady. She and my mother had been in the nursing home about the same length of time and had been roommates for the past 4 years or so. She was always so sweet and LOVED Mexican food. She could out-eat anyone there when we would have Mexican! I loved to watch her color in her coloring books-the pictures had to be just perfect. She and I shared a love of fresh bought crayons! I also loved to hear her sing! She will be missed...

Miss Ruby, as I called her, was one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met. She always attended my Bible classes at the nursing home. I'll truly miss her. May God be with you at this time of loss.-David Rozelle, Chaplain
