Oh granny...AJ is graduating. You would be so proud of him. He even got a scholarship! I told him you will be cheering him on from Heaven. To say we miss you would be such a huge understatement. We still talk about you all the time. My second mother & now my sons guardian angel. We love you, we love you, We love you. Until we meet again....

Ruby was a very good friend I bought her an angel she left it work when she left we kept trying to get together so I could give it to her but never got the chance. She sits on my shelf with all my angels and I think of her every time I look at her. I miss you Ruby...

Dan and Family;
We your California family pray for your strength in the coming days. It was well known by your family how much you loved your wife, your friend, and everybody knew how much she loved you. More importantly, God knows how much you guys loved each other.
"Let not your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you..."(John 14:1-3) The death of the Lord's saints is precious. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." (Ps.116:15) Ruby was truly loved by her family, but God loved her best. Therefore, be comforted that believers, who die are asleep in the Lord.
Believe also, that God's grace is sufficient for every need. "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every goood work."(2Cor. 9:8)
Love your cousins;
Tricia Ann, John, and Family

Ruby you were such a sweet person. You had a beautiful soul. I know where you are now and know that I will again see you. You were taken so early, and I pray that God will see to it that your family and loved ones will find peace and comfort knowing they were very blessed to have you in their lives and that you are always with them. May their memories of you bring them comfort and a smile. May you sing with the angels now, and be at peace. Thank you for your friendship with all of us. Love Jami

Ruby, I am so glad to have known you. When we worked together you were like family to me. You could always make me laugh no matter how I was feeling. Many years passed by but it seems like yesterday we were all together laughing. God now has another beautiful angel. May He help your family find peace in knowing you are with Him.
