I have known Ruby my hole life, her family and our family was raised together. She was like a mother to me. She always toke time to lesson to anyone if they needed something! She has been though a lot of pain as a mother. But she seem to have pulled though it with I thank with the help of God. She told me she missed going to Sunday school and how much she really enjoyed going to church.
Will I will always miss her, especially when I go home to visit.
Love you always Ruby
