Mom, I miss you so so much. You were such a loving and caring mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend to so many. You touched the lives of so many and had a positive impact on them. I will miss going to your favorite restaurant "The Olive Garden" every year for your birthday and all the fun family BBQ's we used to have in your backyard. Though my heart breaks I can take comfort and rejoice in knowing that you are no longer suffering and in the presence of the Lord. You are forever in my heart. See you in heaven

I had the pleasure of spending several weeks at my Aunt Rubys one summer when I came from MO. Though over 30 years have past... I remember her home and the garden and flowers and the conversations vividly. I´m sorry for the loss her children and grandchildren have today. I know she will be missed. Mellisa Tucker (Baker)
