Anne, Dean and I know that you will miss Ruby. She was one-of-a-kind.What a special lady who was filled with such personality and wit, always brought a smile to our faces. She kept us laughing. What a fun lady. We enjoyed dinners at Trinity Terrace with Ruby, Monica and you. Those two were a pair.
Dear sweet Ruby Do ; You are the a epitome of grace and beauty ,elegance and fierce wit. You are truly one of a kind. You touched my life in a profound way,. From pointing out how I could not keep up with you in yoga, so true. Too enriching my life with culture , caring and constant humor. You are so deeply loved by your family and friends. You give true meaning to “The older we get the more precious we are”. Thank you for being my friend. I love you always, Tricia
My heart is with you as you lay my friend to rest. It was a privilege to be in her company for so many events. I send my love. Ann Hash
I have met Ruby a few times, and spoke with her a little over a lunch with Anne. Let me share something with everyone. You know the story about old souls – that was Ruby. You know those people you meet who you instantly get the feeling like they are ‘Mom’ – that was Ruby. She struck me as a woman who was down-to-earth ready to experience life – and she had.Our thoughts and prayers are with her family – and we hope the memories will remain forever in your hearts – she is not a soul easily forgotten – and I can’t even begin to imagine what great Mom she was…Ruby – I will remember you – gonna post a picture of you next!oly graham
Anne and Joyce, It was my pleasure to have met Ruby on three occasions when helping Anne find her home. She was a lovely lady I am so glad to have known her.
Dear Anne, I only had the pleasure of meeting Ruby one time and she was such a joy to be around. You and your family are in my prayers and I send my love.
Anne and Joyce, Your mother was a delightful person filled with light. She gave you gifts in passing on her traits that bless us all. My deepest sympathy as you move forward without her. I am better for having met her and seeing her positive influence in you. May her memory bring you comfort. Warmly, Debbie
It was an honor and my pleasure to have been a part of Ruby’s life.
To Anne,I regret that I never got to meet Ruby in person. I still remember and have a little chuckle when I remember the time you and Ruby sang happy birthday to me over the phone. I know she must have been a wonderful person. Both of you are in my thoughts and in my heart.Much love,Tom
