God places special people on earth,
To teach us certain things,
Ruby's gift to each of us was each day she was the same,
Never mean or grumpy,
Instead joyful and full of life,
And everyone knew her Joe Glover's wife,
Oh how we will miss her,
but her memory will never fade
Sleep now in peace,
We love you Mrs. Ruby Wade

Praying for the family,
Louella and Kim
