Mr. Vickers, Linda and Johnny: I was saddened to read that your wife and Mother passed away. Mr. Vickers, I thought of you and Ruby often. It's so easy to "get out of touch" in this busy world. Ruby was one of the sweetest, most caring person I've ever known -- I shall always remember that smile of hers! Mr. Vickers, Bannie and I always enjoyed being around you and Ruby, having gotten to know you at Lakeview Baptist and Johnson's Auto Parts many years ago. May God fill the void in all your lives as you take one day at a time.

I met Mr. and Mrs. Vickers when I was a teenager at Lakeview Baptist Church. Mrs. Vickers was a wonderful Christian example to me and my best friend, Connie Miller Hudson. I have many happy memories of those times as a young person and will always cherish the memories of those adults, Mr. and Mrs. Cox, Mr. and Mrs. Roop, Mr. and Mrs. Park Miller, and Mr. and Mrs. Vickers who actively worked with the young people and set Christian examples which would follow our lives until today. It was a true privilege for me to be able to fix her hair for the service and my prayers are with the family tonight. Belinda Doster Wheeler, Tallahassee.

To the family of Ruby Vickers, what a sweet spirited lady that each of us had the devine Joy of knowing. I worked with Ruby in 1984 until she retired. Her smile, easy to talk and work with, her genuine overall abilities and her cooking was number 1 in my book. She was a gracious and lovely person. My sincere thoughts are the fond memories of Ruby flourish in your hearts will comfort each of you during this time. In kind regards.

Earl and family,
So very sorry to learn of the passing of "Miss Ruby" and know that she has left big shoes to fill. She was a gracious lady and always eager to contribute food any time it was needed. May God be with you all and give you comfort in the days and months ahead.

Johnny and Linda,
Aunt Ruby will always be a very special person in my heart. She was a great sister to my daddy and was more like a sister than a sister-in-law to mama. She and Uncle Earl were always there for us after daddy died and never failed to visit mama in the nursing home and always have encouragement for me when mama started getting weaker. I always knew she was there for me. I will cherish her memory and know that she has now received the ultimate gift. Happy re-birthday, Aunt Ruby.
Love, Sandy
