David , I first met your family in the late 1960's when we went to church together. It was a 2nd home to me as well as your mother making me welcome. Your loss is close to me as if it was my own mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Donna, Jr. and Charlie , her husband and soul-mate. I think of the song she sang "I'll fly away" and now knows its full meaning. If you need anything let me know. Richard

We were so sorry to hear about Ruby. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time. We know how hard this has to be on all of you. We always loved Ruby as we did all of you. You were good neighbors when we all lived in Walnut Subdivision. We know you will miss her very much but she is now singing in that heavenly choir and is at peace. May God wrap His loving arms around each of you and give you the confort and peace you need at this time. Love and prayers Mike and Anna Lee Williams
