Grandma--I love you and will miss you, especially your smile. You were a special woman and I won't forget you. It saddens me that my children never had the opportunity to know the real you, but I will do everything I can to teach them what wonderful people you and Grandpa were. Rest in peace.
I am sorry for your loss, but know she is happy to be with her beloved Roy. Although I did not know Ruby very well, I know she had to be an exceptional lady. She and Roy did so many nice things for the community by sharing their talents in music.I am sure she will be missed by all her family. My sincere blessings and prayers to all of you.
Our prayer's are with the family,we will miss you Ruby.God Bless.
Just wanted to let you know that I remember your MOM fondly. My Dad , Trav McDonald made fast freinds with Roy and ruby back when Roy had his bypass surgery, I belive they were room mates! They then formed the walkers club at Southtown. My dad took my daugheter Melissa there and
Ruby took to her like a Gramma!
When I met Ruby, I just fell in love with her smile, her caring sweet GIVING nature!!She always was sending something home with Melissa, and in fact each Christmas I think of her. Ruby made Melissa a set of crocheted santas, that I still have.
I believe Ruby is up in heaven, all well,with Roy and performing their Polka music to the crowd!! I know my Dad is there too. I just wanted you to know how she touched my heart. :)
You will be dearly missed by those who knew and loved you, and it is sad that you will not get to see your great-grandchildren grow up. You are in "God's Garden" now with Dad and at peace.
GOD'S GARDEN
God looked around His garden,
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you,
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered, "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
