With heartfelt sympathy to Ruby's family. I recall the copius notes she had written and continued to write on each and every page of her bible, whether it be from a bible study or from a sermon, she was always writing. She was a godly person and had a very sincere belief in the Lord....a real Christian.

Ruby was a very special friend of mine. I met her through Bible Study Fellowship. We both served on the leadership team for several years. Ruby's love of life and love of God brought many hours of happiness to me. As her memory began to fail, she never failed to ask about my husband. :) My prayer for her family is that you find peace in her home going by knowing how loved she was by so many. You now have a guardian angel watching over each of you.
