ReplyDeleteSo sorry and saddened to learn of Ruby's passing, and my sympathies go out to her family and friends. I didn't know Ruby well, but whenever I saw her at Updyke's she always had a smile for me -- and then I would smile, because she was so sweet. My mother, who lived down the hall from Ruby, was also very fond of her. I will truly miss seeing her!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to miss the family at Aunt Ruby's funeral, but so looking forward to walking the street of gold with Aunt Ruby someday! Prayers of comfort to the family and to God's glory!
