Tribute from the Family

Through it all you left a beautiful memory,

A sorrow to great to be told

But, to us who loved you (Mama Ruby)

Your memory will never grow old.

Ciod gave us the strength to bear it,

And courage to face the blow

But what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know.

Your memory is a keepsake from whence we shall never part.

Though God has you in his keeping

We shall always have you in our hearts

.

Sweet peace be with you (Mama Ruby).
