As the mother of Tim's oldest son Scott, I am so sorry for the loss you are feeling Tim! David, as a widow myself, I can say I know the pain you feel and the sudden emptyness, but know that Ruby's love is still with you. David and Dean, it has been many years since I have seen you all, and that's the time I want to remember Ruby. Vibrant and spunky and always smiling. Back then we were all pretty close for a time, and I thank ya'll. I will cherish the memories of family. Debbie, I am so sorry for your loss as well. I just wish I had more time to get to know you better. I pray that you all find comfort in knowing that she is not suffering and that she created a beautiful family, including mine and Tim's son Scott. Matthew and TJ, I also want to say I am sorry for your loss as well. I know your big brother would be there if he didn't have to work. You guys matter to me too, always have. God Bless You All and Ruby may you rest in peace (Lord knows you have sure earned it!)

David,Debbie,Dean and Tim,
       I loved Aunt Ruby with all my heart.  She was a gentle soul who could find good in anyone.  My happiest memories in Columbus were the ones of all of us as kids, travelling around in an old station wagon, eating Krystal burgers or whatever we could find.  I always loved going to your house because I knew Aunt Ruby loved us.
      When she came to Lake City, I remember how excited she was when Bill was going to ask my dad for my hand in marriage.  She said she knew it before I did.  She just had a genuine heart and a sweetness that is unsurpassed.  I will miss her. I'm just sorry that time and miles have separated us over the years,  Just know that nothing diminished the love I felt for her, just as time will not erase her memory.
        I'm so sorry for your loss.  I know no one will ever replace your mother.  Just always remember...you had one of the best.  I love you all and will keep you in my prayers.
                                                         Love,
                                                         Kim

My little Mommy, I will always remember all the times we have talked, laughed, and cried together. Those memories will NEVER EVER be forgotten. I will miss all that but, I know where you are now. Standing up straight and looking down at all of us. But, the best part is that I will see you again one day. I Love You Now and Always! Your Only Daughter, Debbie XOXO

With deepest sympathy,  David, Diane Fourhman and family

I met Ruby in 1975 when I was just a kid. But she treated me like a young lady. I remember being impressed by the confident way she carried herself. All 4'11" of her. She had a warm smile and a great sense of humor and I knew instantly that I would never forget her. Time passed and the years flew by, then after 34 years I got to see her once again. And yes time had left it's mark but what time could never rob her of was that sparkle in her eyes and that beautiful smile. This tiny little Lady will forever have a place in my heart and she will be missed until I see her again. So to her family I say "You were blessed to have had such a wonderful person in your lives ,and may God grant you all peace in the days to come" And to my Precious little Friend Ruby I say "Sleep with the Angels Sweetheart", You have earned your rest". I loved you then I love You still.....Tim's Joy

Tim, TJ, Matt and Debbie-  You are all in my thoughts and prayers.  It has been said that when spirits go to heaven they become the likeness of their 30 year old self (no pain) and that they are happier than they have ever been and spend their time waiting on their family to come join them by dancing and celebrating. I can almost see her dancing around heaven.  So know that Ruby is happy now and in no pain and that one day you will all be together again.
Love you guys,
Angie

As the years flew by I never forgot that tiny little Lady that had made such a lasting impression on me.  34 years passed before I got to see her again. And I'm so glad to say that some things and some people never change. Yes time had left it's mark but what time couldn't rob her of was that sparkle in her eyes and that beautiful smile. To me she was a little angel and I will miss her until the day I get to see her again. I loved her then...I love her still...Rest with the Angels Sweetheart......Tim's Joy

Tim, you and your family are in our prayers. God will give you the strength to go through these times.

Dear David,
Sorry to hear about Ruby. You are in our prayers.
