    Miss Ruby was so loved at the Glen Rose Kindergarten. She was a hard worker who never seemed discouraged. Her sweet smile was a reflection of her good heart. She always spoke so lovingly of her family. I know she will be missed.

    The biggest thing I remember about Mrs. Ruby was that she always wore a smile and I never heard her even once say anything derogatory toward a single soul. She lived her life in a way that was very evident of her love for her Savior. Such possessed such a sweet, caring, loving spirit. She has now laid her faith in her Savior down at His feet, because she know longer needs faith. Her faith has now become sight. Praying for Don and Renee today, I know how painful it is to have to say your earthly goodbye to your mother. You and the rest of your family are in my prayers during this difficult time. I pray that you let 1 Corithians 2:9 bring your heart comfort and peace.
