Carla and Tracy, my heart is with you and your families.
Ruby (your mom) was a church friend of my mom, Nadine Riggs; she passed away in 1991. Ruby was part of my mom’s circle of friends at Timothy. Mom called these ladies, “he r Sunday friends”. They would play cards, go to a movie or just eat out. My mom was so blessed to have Ruby for a friend, and in turn, I was too. My mom was so lost when my dad died in 1982, and your mom and several others, helped my cope with the loss.
My sympathy and prayers are with your family at this time.
Love, in Christ,Carol and Gary Williams

Carla, Tracy and Michelle: My heart is broken. Thank you so much for allowing me to spend time with your mom/grandma. I will treasure every minute. She truly was a very special lady and treated me as one of her own. I know she will always be watching over you. I love you guys!
Our condolences to you all. I loved Aunt Ruby so very much. I have so many fond memories of her throughout the years. What a wonderful reunion in Heaven with the rest of our family. ❤️ Prayers for the peace that surpasses all understanding.
