As a young girl growing up in the projects, Ruby was one of my close friends. We lost contact over the years but in my heart I still feel like I lost a friend. I will say to her sister, brothers, children and other close relatives and friends, remember the good times. The precious memories that you had of Ruby. I am sure there were many to help to sustain you. I know it's gonna be hard but with God's help you can press on. Take care and may God bless you all.

To my dearest family,
As the days and the weeks pass know that the pain will start to pass as well. Weeping may endure for a night but joy will come in the morning. Rest assure that to absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. The things that we still have to deal with on this earth are no longer the worries of Ruby J our goal now is to one day be able to see her again. I love you all.
