    My Aunt Ruby was a blessing to me. She certainly did her part in helping to raise me. She was extremely smart & taught me many things in life. She taught me how to swim underwater in the Homochitto River. She said that way I wouldn't be scared of water. What a blessing to have such a great aunt.
    I'll see you again!
    Love you

    26 years ago I met Mrs. RUBY. I would tell everybody I knew that she was the most talented person I had ever met.She welcomed me the first day I met her. Wayne would always talk so sweet of Ruby and I got the chance to find out myself. It seemed like we always known each other.Her family has lost a jewel in their family circle .
    RUBY!

    Ruby was my very best friend in life. She was an amazing woman with talents that would astound anyone, considering she never took music lessons. My heart is hurting knowing she is gone yet it is rejoicing knowing where she now resides. I will see her again some day.

    Many prayers and much love to all of the family. You are in my heart.
