Dearest Ruby, I loved you as a neighbor. Your sweet kindhearted personality shined. I enjoyed talking you when you and Dave were out on your daily walks.
You are now in heaven with our Heaven Father, GOD singing with the angels in the most beautiful gardens.
If you see my wonderful husband Chris, be sure to give home the biggest hug for me. I rejoice in knowing you are both with our Maker God, in your heavenly bodies painless.

Love Love, Carol Seabury
