David & family. I just heard about Ruby's last travel to be with her husband in heaven today! I am so very sorry for your loss as she was such a sweet & kind lady. We enjoyed talking to her when Mom& Miss Ruby were at the Rose House before I moved Mom to be closer to us. God bless you all

Such fond memories of time I spent with your mom. God bless you all in your loss. She was instrumental in my Candy Striper days at Park Place Hospital and my receiving a scholarship from the auxiliary there. She was such a loving kind friend to me.

Mrs. Bennett was our Candy Striper leader at Park Place Hospital. She was so sweet and patient with all of us teenage girls. May God bless her family at this time.

Aunt Ruby, I have so many wonderful memories & will miss you. My favorite memories are of you coming to have coffee with your sister, my Nana. You faithfully visited her several times a week & brought so much joy to her bed ridden life. I had the pleasure of growing up watching y'all pray together & seeing first hand how close sister's should be & how Christian's should treat each other. I never understood why you where so impressed & proud of me because I chose to stay & take care of her any time I could....you use to tell me "that teenagers today don't do that! & that God would bless me for it" Now I do & you where right, I am so blessed with all the memories of my family! Even when you where so sick, you use to call & check on me to see how I was feeling. You were a special woman, mother, grandmother, aunt, but most importantly a Christian! Until we meet again in heaven, all my love & condolences to the family!
