We thought of you today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought of you yesterday
And will tomorrow, too.
We think of you in silence
And make no outward show,
For what it meant to lose you
Only those who love you know.
Remembering you is easy,
We do it everyday.
It's the heartache of losing you
That will never go away.
Death leaves a heartache no one can
heal---Love leaves a memory no one
can steal.

To the Jenkins,
We all loved Ruby, but God loved her best. We can Triumph over the death of a loved one by having faith in the fact that nothing can happen to us unless it first travel through the hands of our father, it maybe difficult for us to comprehend at the moment, but we know he doesn't make mistakes. He said he will never leave us he will always be with us through our happiness and storms of life. God got this he has Ruby in his loving arms. My prayers and thoughts goes out to the family.
