To Dolly & Brian and Ruby's family - we are so lucky to have had the joy of meeting Ruby a few times in the last 30 years. I will always remember her happiness and joyful attitude and how she was always busy and smiling. She always made me feel happy. What a life - 99 years. I am so sorry for you that she will not be with you physically but she will always be in your heart and memories.

Dolly,

Was very saddened to hear of your Mom's passing. She was a wonderful person. Ruby always had a smile and provided gracious hospitality for her guests. She is a very special spirit. Always know how much she was appreciated and she will not be forgotten by those who were blessed to have known her. Finally reunited with Leo and most likely they are at the ball park with Mel and Sandy.

Your friend, Ken

Ruby,
How privileged I was to have you as a neighbor. I will never forget your sweet laugh and constant smile, our hours of exercises and singing, hours of watching I love Lucy, hours of sitting in the backyard and watching the birds. Now you are basking in the presence of the Lord you love so dearly. You will forever be missed.

Grandma you have always been my living angel, you inspired me, laughed at me, loved me, and supported me through my entire life. I will treasure every moment we ever had, remember the special person god blessed us with, and honor your memory by being the women you expect me to be. I pray that you are rejoicing with my mom Sandra, Uncle Mel, Grandpa, Coke and all the loved ones who went to be with the lord preceding you. May our lord allow you to be as beautiful an angel in heaven as you were on earth. Until we meet again, I love you with all my heart.
