Ruby was a very wonderful lady with a beautiful smile. I know she must have been extra special because Pop-O loved her so much and she brought him so much happiness. I am certain that those memories will bring him great comfort in the days ahead.

Ruby,
We made alot of fishing trips to Edders creek in that old yellow pickup. We had plenty of fish bait, lighting in a jar, and a lot of laughs. Life was simple and you were special.
