Diane and family,
Ron and I are saddened at the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful woman, encourager and always kept us on our toes. She had a profound influence on my life and I enjoyed time spent with her, especially my sleepover at her house when she fell. What an independent woman she was!! I'm also glad that she is now reunited with your dad and all of her friends that she so faithfully visited and cared for all those years. We are sorry that we missed her service but please know that we will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Ruby and I worked together at Southern Railway in Wash., DC. We both transferred to Roanoke, VA which was her birth place. After I left the railroad, Ruby and I stayed in contact via Christmas cards every year. We would fill in each other on the past year's happenings within our families. Ruby was like a second mother to me. She was always there to help me or listen to me when I needed it. I appreciated her honesty and respected her character. We had a lot of fun times together. I am deeply sorry for your loss. You will be in my prayers.

Ruby was one of a kind lady. She would alway surprise us with gifts at the family reunion and Linda and I were so excited to see her [and they were really good gifts too]. She still surprised me when my mother died and came to her funeral. I haven't seen her in years and there was that beautiful smiling face. What a treat that was and a comfort too. She is greatly missed but her love will live on.

What a wonderful reunion is going on in Heaven! Ruby was an inspiration to all who had the blessing of her friendship. We worked together in Sunday School, WMU, Board of Deacons, etc., at Briggs Baptist Church in the DC area. Deepest sympathy to Dianne, Jim, Rick and Jason, and to her friends who dearly loved her.

I can't believe that this time Ruby actually stepped over the edge of this life into the next life! She must have finally been satisfied that the rest of us could handle things allright without her guidance and inspiration being physically present with us. She must have understood that all the things she stood for and believed in were safe with us - her family and dear friends - and that perhaps God could use a bit of advice on a couple of matters... Ruby was the scariest and dearest and most loving and strongest and kindest and... did I mention scariest? person I met when I came to RHBC, and remained one of my dearest friends and mentors. There is one fewer unique and special souls in our world and our lives, and I grieve for Rick and myself, as well as all who knew and loved her, especially the family. God bless you all.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever. She is in the arms of Jesus now and his arms will keep her forever.

We were saddened to see that Ruby had passed away. She always had a smile for us every Sunday, and we will greatly miss her at Rosalind Hills.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. May God give you peace and comfort in your loss.
