I've always enjoyed my time with Aunt Carrie. She was a cheerful and caring person. When she entered a room, she would light it up with her wonderful personality. She and I would talk about the things of God, and I would glean much wisdom from her. I know that I will miss her because she was such a blessing to me.

I am sadden by the death of this precious, loving, favorite Aunt of mine. We shared many good conversations and she was always faithful to the Ruffin family in every area. I loved her dearly and will truly miss her. However, I know that she is now resting in the arms of Jesus and know that she is content. I will forever love you Aunt Carrie. Your niece.

Ms. Ruffin was very kind to me. She was always available to give advise or just lend an ear.
She will be missed.
