Ruby, you were one of my favorite patients to take care of in the hospital. I loved seeing you walking down the halls with that beautiful smile of yours always on your face. I can only find comfort in knowing that you are in a better place now where all the suffering is over. God bless you, my Ruby Tuesday!!

To My Dear Granny-

Big Mama, words can’t express the heartache I feel right now. We’ve shared a bond that NO ONE will ever be able to understand. You have been a constant source of motivation, support and advice…even when I thought I didn’t need it. You were hard on me when I needed discipline and comforting when I needed a friend.

I can still remember one of the best conversations we ever had. You, Aunt Bobbie and I were sitting in your kitchen on 28th Street. We had just convinced her to stay and wait out the rain with us, and we started talking about relationships. I thought that listening to the two of you discuss men had to be the funniest thing in the world…not knowing at the time that I was getting advised by two of the Greatest!

Even though you both are gone, I can still hear those words of wisdom. I promise that I’ll never silence that voice whenever I hear it in my head.

I’ll miss you Ms. Jones, and I smile though my tears knowing that you are finally at peace. I’ll always love you and I’ll forever be proud of the fact that it was I who first gave you the title of Grandma.

Until we meet again…

Your first,

Tomecka

Her halo, harp and other things.
But today I'm lost and a little alone,
For today God called my angel home.”

Aunt Ruby, what can I say... we have shared so many memories together. I will never forget some of the special moments - when my mom passed, you told me you will be there for me and the boys and you were. The love you have shown to me and my boys will never be forgotten. I feel so Blessed to have had the opportunity to experience some of your "last" things; our train trip to Chicago was great! But what I will hold dearly to my heart forever is your last words to me from your hospital bed, barely able to speak; "Pat, I love you so much." To my family, weeping may endure for a night, but joy will come in the morning. Stay strong and if God brings you to it, He will surely bring you through it.
With all my love - Patricia White and the boys.
