Dear Jim,
Bill Pierce shared the news about Ruby Lee's "homecoming". I pray that you are comforted by the peace and joy that Ruby Lee is now experiencing and that your being left behind is filled with the love and presence of many who care deeply for you. Ruby Lee and you served America's children with wisdom and care. I feel honored to have been acquainted with you both.
God's blessings to you. Candace

I lived at Gladney from January 2000 to September 2000. Now I know the story behind the name. She was a great woman.

Jim,
How blessed we are to have good souls in our lives whether for one minute or a lifetime.
Although we cannot see sound, it exists...although we are unable to see souls, they remain close to us and they live in on our hearts.
My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Often in life we have the privledge to meet amazing people like Ruby Lee, she was one of those rare persons who has left a big mark on my life. Her strength and perserverance is why she was able to accomplish all that she did in her life. I admire so much the lifes work of this amazing lady, and also how she always made me feel so important to her. I will miss how she always seemed grateful that I had come to see her. I will miss her. May God be with you all at this difficult time...know that you are loved and she will be remembered in my heart always...
