Miss Ruby was such an encouragement to me. Here is a lady that knew her bible. She was modest, humble a true believer that lived her life being obedient to the Lord God. I’ve know Miss Ruby since mid 1990. I would visit and take her shopping before she was placed in a nursing home. I would continue to visit her through the years and I always enjoyed the visits. She always had a wonderful attitude, took time to enjoy the court yard and birds that she could see from her windows and just generally enjoyed life. She always made me feel special, always having a compliment on her lips and never saying anything bad about anyone. She loved the Lord and she loved her Bible. I’ll miss my visits with Miss Ruby, she just let me talk and talk and talk and I loved to make her laugh. One of my most fondest memories of her Miss Ruby is when I read her some verses from the Bible recently. It brought her such peace during a time when I knew she was not feeling well and was hoping the Lord would soon take her. I will also remember how she loved to read the Bible to others and how can I forget her laugh. It was such a cute, shy, little giggle – I will certainly miss her.
