Happy birthday Granny. I miss you so much. I wish I could see you and hug you. I miss your pretty smile. I always think about you. I will never forget how you helped take care of Jimmy and I through the years. We are so grateful. I am at work today. Each time I write the date (which is a lot this time of year), I think about your birthday. I know you watch over your loved ones. I'm sorry Aunt Clariece is so sad right now. I hope she can find comfort in the memories of you. Love you Granny.

Your Smile
Though your smile is gone forever,and your hand I cannot touch,I still have many memories of the one I loved so much.
Your memory is my keepsake,with which I'll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.
Sadly missed but never forgotten.
Your birthday is the 9th and I was going to be busy that day and wanted to be sure to let you know I love you and miss you more than ever!!!!!!!!
I know you and Aunt Clariece are so happy and sining God's praises.
My children stay so busy I hardly see them and I see how lonesome you got . I am so lonesome and wish I still had you to visit ! No one seems to care like you did, I feel so lonesome lately. Happy Birthday mother !

Hi Granny,
I miss you so much. I love you and think of you often. Every time I had to write the date today I kept thinking of you how you would have been 89 years old today. I agree with Aunt Clariece in her note today. It makes me feel better to write down how I am feeling and it makes me feel closer to you. I miss you more than ever. I love you Granny.

I try to think happy thoughts of you and remember your smile and know that one day I will get to see you again. I love you so much Granny.

Dear Granny,
Today it's been 11 years since Daddy passed away. If there is anyway that you can see this, please tell him I love him and miss him too. He died too young Granny. We all miss him. I'm glad he has you with him now. Papa will have been gone 12 years since the 19th of this month. I can't believe how long it's been since they left us and now my sweet Granny has been gone a year already. I sure hope you three are getting along up there.:) Remember we love you all.
Love,

Granny I miss you so much. It's been a year today since your passing. I can't believe it. We all miss your sweet smiling face. You meant the world to me and everyone. Sometimes I just don't know how I can stand it knowing I will not see you on this earth again. Your passing hurts me as much today as it did a year ago. However, I know when I get sad your spirit is near and you find a way to cheer me up. I love you and miss you Granny. Tell Daddy and Papa hello for us and that we love and miss them too.
Love,
Tina

It has been one year ago since you went to be with the Lord and oh how I have missed you ! I will see you again someday and I praise God for giving his life to save us. You were my inspiration to be a christian and I thank you for that. Thank you for all the love you gave, I miss your hugs and kisses more than you know. Nobody else gives me any like you did.No body loves me as much as you did.They don't show it like you did either.The tears I am shedding now are happy tears,remembering the good times we had.You taught me how to love and care for others and that means so much to me . I promise I will never be selfish.All the family misses you so very much and loves you too. Your Loving Daughter,Clariece

Granny I miss you so much. I miss you more than you know. You used to love Christmas so very much. Sean and I decorated our usual tree, but then I felt that wasn’t enough and wanted to decorate another small tree in honor of you. I decorated the small tree in Victorian style in your honor. That time period always reminds me of Grandmothers. I used to dread having to decorate for Christmas for some reason, but I didn’t this year at all. I was actually looking forward to it. I truly believe your spirit was close by and drove me to be more in the Christmas spirit this year. I really enjoyed decorating the Victorian tree.
All this week and today I kept thinking of the times when Jimmy and I were little and how you used to come over to watch us open presents on Christmas morning. You would arrive very early in the morning with your gifts. You and Momma would sit at the table talking and drinking coffee while you waited for us to wake up and open gifts. You both would say that Santa came to our house before you arrived. I will cherish those times forever. You and Momma always made all the holidays so special for us. We could always depend on you both for anything.
You were the best Grandma anyone could have ever asked for and I will never forget you Granny. I will always have a part of me missing during my time on this earth. Your daughter and the rest of our family miss you so much Granny. We always think of you and love you so very much. Granny, I wish you a very Merry Christmas. I love you!!
Your loving granddaughter,

Mama I missed you more than words can say. Christmas wasn't the same without you. But what helped me the most today was knowing you are with Jesus and singing praises with him. I did all the decorations the way you always like them. Even the village you loved so well You will always be in my thoughts every day. You were the sweetest mother to me and I thank you for being there for me. The whole family missed you today and when we ate the cream corn we rememered how you loved it .Aunt Clariece will be coming to see you before long. She is in bad shape so it won't be much longer and you will be with her. I miss you!!!! Your Loving Daughter, Clariece

My Dearest Grandmother,
Today is your birthday and I miss you more than anyone will ever know. I was so glad that I was able to celebrate your birthday with you last year. It was a very nice day because you had all of your family there. We all loved you and still love you so much.
I was upset most of last week because I knew it was leading up to this day. However, right now I am not sad because I know you are sitting here beside me while I type this message to you. I will always think of you and Daddy in September since his was the 1st and yours is the 9th. However, I knew this first birthday without you was going to be the hardest.
Granny, I know you are always close by in spirit and you are always with me. That's what keeps me from being so sad sometimes. I love you so much and I miss my hugs from you. I would give anything if I could have you standing before me once again with a big smile on your face and your arms reaching out for a hug. My husband Sean said to me that he is going to miss the hugs from you and will miss your sweet smile too. He loved you too Granny. You will forever be in our hearts and will forever be missed by your family and friends.
I love you Granny,
your loving Granddaughter,
Tina

Oh Granny I miss you more than anyone will ever know. I think about you all the time. My life has not been the same since you passed away. People look at me and think I am okay, but I’m really not. One minute I feel that I might be okay and then the realization that you are not here anymore hits me like a wave. It may seem crazy, but lately I have been trying not to think about your passing. I think about the memories. It’s almost as if you are still here with us. I know you are here with us in spirit. I know you must be up in heaven feeling so proud of the kind of daughter you created (our Aunt). Thank you for giving my brother Jim and I such a wonderful Aunt. She is the best Aunt anyone could ever have. She was so good to you. I know you were always proud of her and appreciated everything she did for you. I know we are proud of her and appreciate all that she does for us and everyone. She is just like you. She is the most selfless person I know. She only thinks of other people. We love her very much. I know that she is hurting just as I am. The only comfort that I have now is to think that you are in a much better place and that I will get to see you one day. I love you Granny. I will be writing again soon.
Love,
Tina

Sister,
I can't begin to tell you how sorry we all are for the passing of Aunt Ruby. The only good thing, is that she is in a far better place than any of us are.
We will always remember that smile of hers. It was permentantly etched in her face. I can just see she and Daddy (Charles) sitting and trying to catch each other up on everyone and everything. Thank God, she has as much family where she is as where she has been. That has to be a comfort to all of us. We also know that she is in excellent hands and we never have to worry about her again. Now we can look back and enjoy all the wonderful things about her life. We love and miss you all.

I will always look out for Tina and Jimmy like I promised you. They are lost without you too .I give you all the credit for who I am today you were my strengh along with god.I know you are singing praises now and I'm happy for you.I love you !

Dear family and friends of Aunt Ruby,
My sisters and I and my mother will never, ever, forget this dear and precious person. All of the beautiful things being said about her by all of you are so true.
It is so nice to know where Aunt Ruby is right now. She made no bones about Who she trusted with her eternal destiny. Just bring up the subject and she would light up. If she had written something to leave us that she would want each of us to know, it would be that she wants to see us all again one day and have the best family reunion a family could have. She would want us to know that she understood that her own life’s righteous actions thoughts or deeds had nothing to do with where she is now. It was Who she was related to that secured her destiny – Jesus, (“the way, the truth and the life – no one comes to the Father except through (belief in) Him"). She would want us all to know that when He made Himself known to her, (as He has to all of us at one time or another), and that He said “in order to come to God, we must believe that He is, and that He rewards those who diligently search for Him”, she knew she needed to diligently search and she did. She discovered that belief in Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection was what God planned for her as an individual, as well as for anyone in the whole world who would believe in Him. She asked to be forgiven for her sins from birth until death and to be rescued (saved) from the justifiable penalty for sin in her own individual life and was immediately forgiven for them all – even those not yet committed and was from that point on rightly RELATED to Him. It is the RELATIONSHIP that secures our destiny, not how good our deeds are. Our good thoughts and deeds after our belief in Him are merely a reflection of who we belong to and how He is influencing us and our behavior.
She expressed to me that sometimes she just could not understand some things, but she knew He knew and that was enough for her. She never turned her back on Him through so many tough times in life, but even if she had, even that would be forgiven. What a testimony she was to all of us about Him. Even with her ups and downs, good and bad, her trust and faith in Jesus never failed. “Faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the Word of God”. She knew that all of life’s questions can be answered in the Word of God. She would not want even one of us to be missing, even though believing it is ultimately our choice. He has done all that is needed. All we have to do is believe it. That is what I believe she would want for all of us to know.
In the meantime, I will always be thankful for my Aunt Ruby. Her home was always a warm, friendly place to go visit. When she was around we always laughed about the simplest things. She had the best laugh and the sweetest little spirit. I know that she and Aunt Clariece never missed a wedding or baby shower. A shower just wouldn’t have been the same without them. They did so enjoy the company of family and friends. When we vacationed to Uncle Buddy’s cabin in North Carolina and she was with us, we had so much fun. Pam was right. We did love that corn she took off the cob and creamed. We could have eaten nothing but that for dinner. I’ve tried to duplicate it, but it just wasn’t the same.
I cannot wait to see her again and hug her the way she always hugged me – with long, sweet, sincere loving hugs. I’ll never forget how surprised I was when I discovered that she loved to watch golf of all things. Knowing her, she’s probably even learning how to play golf from Jesus himself right now. I’m sure she’s having lots of fun!!
She will never be forgotten!

Dear Aunt RUBY
You have always been my favorite aunt. My first memories of you were in Long Beach Calif and you were baby sitting for my mother (youre sister) and you made my brother and I eat spinach which we hated, but there with your famous Smile saying your mother made me do it.I have kidded you about it forever and I Loved you the same as you Loved me for all of your Life you also know that Johnny and I were way ahead of adult people, we held in the side of our mouths until you were not looking and spit it in our hands and held it until dinner was over and then we flushed it down the toilet.We did the same with Mother.
I remember all the times you stayed with us all the places you lived,Calif,Valdosta,Ga,Sunbeam, Fl,You lived with us there for a year or so and moved to Summerall rd lived there 40 plus yrs then moved to Worthington Springs to live next door to the Best DAUGHTER any MOTHER could have. Then when your Health got past the point of your Daughters care you went to Palatka Health Care to live in the same room as your sister (my mother) for the rest of your Life.
This was a Blessing for you and her.
You had some bad times but the good times and the Good Family and Friends let you forget anything negative in your Life.
I will always love you and remember you and youre smile.
Love, Larry
ps Tell Debbie I Love her miss you both. GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Granny,
You were such a sweet Grandmother that anyone would love to have. I can remember all of the happy times that we would spend with you in Jacksonville. I looked forward to going to your house every year. Any time I introduced you to someone they would tell me how sweet you were and that you were like a Grandmother to them also. You showed so much love for everyone, it did not matter who you were you loved them. You will be missed so much that it hurts deep down inside to think about it. I know for sure if anyone is in HEAVEN it would be you.
I love you Granny,
Missing you,
Your Granddaughter Denise

Oh Granny you will be missed. I would have to say that Granny was one of the most important people in my life. She was always honest to the core letting you know what was right and what was wrong. I think of words like Honesty, Dedication, Commitment, Friend, Mother, Sister, Wife, Daughter, Aunt, and Grandmother. Oh, and was she ever a Grandmother. If I were down there was always a place to go and that was Granny’s house where there was always room for you to stay and she would always make the time to visit. Her life indeed was at times difficult and I hope I have the qualities she possessed to get me through the difficult times ahead. Some say when you get old your not as sane as you once were. Granny was the sanest person I have ever known. I am assured Granny is beyond the gates of Heaven smiling down on us. Let’s take what we have learned from her so we can all be there with her. She will be happy to see us there.
Granny, I love you.

I remember the first time I met Granny 14 years ago. I was very nervous about meeting Jimmys family,but as soon as we drove up the dirt road she was on the porch smiling and waving. She gave me a big hug and a huge smile and all my worries were gone. She always made our visits so special. Ruby Edmondson was a smart,beautiful,strong and LOVING woman,and I am thankful and blessed to have had her come into my life.

To know that is dancing before the Lord makes me smile, and I wlll meet her again someday.

Our dearest "Granny",
Many times you have warmed us with your love and your ever present smile. Dwayne has the fondest memories of visiting with you and PaPa in Jacksonville when he was growing up. We loved having you close to us when you moved to "the country" in Lake Butler. Mrs. Clariece was thrilled to have you just next door. While we may not have visited or called as often as we should have, that does not mean that we didn't love you. Life goes by so quickly that we don't always get our priorities straight, and miss out on many opportunities to tell and show those that are close to us how much we love them. We have your photo in our living room and will keep it there as a constant memory of you.
The void that is now in our lives will be here forever, but we have the fondest memories of you and your sweet attitude toward others. We love you and will miss you forever. However, we find peace in knowing that we will see you again one day as we all join together to sing praises to Jesus...what a glorious time that will be!
Tina Edmondson-Berry

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Everyone loved Granny’s smile. Even when she wasn’t feeling her best she always had a big smile on her face when people came to see her. Throughout her life she was so kind, caring and so helpful to people. She was always concerned about them. Granny always thought of other people before she thought of herself. She was so good to her children and grandchildren and she loved them so much. Sometimes I don’t know what I would have done without her in my life. She worried about everyone so much. Now she is at peace and does not have to worry anymore. My Grandma meant the world to me. Know one will know the pain I feel now that she is gone. I used to think about the day that she will pass on and how I was going to feel. I never wanted that day to arrive and now it has. I will never forget her and will think of her every single day. I pray for the day that I can see her in my dreams once again.
Granny, when I think of you I will always see your beautiful smile and remember the times I spent with you. The very thought of you and your smile will also put a smile on my face. I will always love you so much and I thank you for being such a wonderful grandmother. You were the best grandmother and you meant so much to me. I will never forget you and will always cherish and love you. May you now rest in peace and rejoice with the Lord.
Your loving Granddaughter,

My Aunt Ruby
Although she wasn't officially my Aunt (she was my Mother's adored first cousin)I called her Aunt Ruby all my life. She was absolutely one of my favorite relatives. I remember her sitting in our kitchen drinking coffee and laughing, showing great interest in any and all things we had to say. She vacationed with us one year and was the best of all travel companions. She was a trooper - enduring much pain and heartache in her life but always making it through.The things I most remember are: She always had a sweet smile for me - no matter what was happening in her life; she gave the most wonderful, heartfelt, enveloping hugs that she held for minutes, not seconds!;no matter when or where I saw her she made me feel that my visit with her was the MOST important moment of her day;I treasured her Christmas cards all my adult life for no matter where I lived in the country her familiar handwriting told me she loved and missed me and always, always she signed "Oceans of love" which is exactly what I felt from her when I read those words;She made the best darn homemade cream corn on the planet!and finally, even to the end she had gorgeous creamy skin most young girls would envy. She loved her family above all things, had great faith, was honest to the core and I will always hear her cute little laugh when I think of her. My dear sweet Aunt Ruby - I will always love you and remember you with the greatest respect and fondness. Godspeed
Clariece and family - we love you so much and have you all in our prayers.
