I was so saddened to hear of Ruby's death. I could always count on receiving a card and a call from her if there was any kind of low spot in my life. She was a woman with a purpose; sharing the love of Christ with others. Rejoice in her life well lived.

Gwen, So sorry to hear of Mrs. Ruby's death. If I had to say one thing about Mrs. Ruby it would be that she was so faithful to the Lord and to her church . I can't ever remember a time in our lives if we had anything special going on that we didn't receive a little hand made cross and sweet card . She always remembered our family in special times as well as everyone in our church family. I remember when I opened my shop seven years ago she was one of the first to visit me and bring me a beutiful plant. These things I will always remember. She was a great woman and will always be remembered as one that loved the Lord with all her heart.You have my deepest sympathy , Diane Hobbs

Our deepest sympathy to the Taylor family. Your mother was a dear friend to my mother, Sidney Mitchell. Surely they are rejoicing in heaven together. It is so wonderful to know we will see them again. How peaceful to know that they are in the presence of our Lord.
