Ruby was a bundle of energy and would always make sure you were well fed and taken care of. She had the biggest heart of anyone I know. She and her brother Harold are sorely missed.

To the McDonald Family: Jesus healed the sick and raised the dead in order for us to know what he will do in the near future. (Matthew 11:4,5) So like those who were cured during that time, they rejoiced to see their afflictions gone and for those family members who had loved ones brought back to life, they rejoiced also. You along with millions of others will rejoice too when the resurrection occurs and you will be reunited with your loved one Ruby. (Acts 24:15) Until then, may each of you be comforted by means of our dear heavenly Father who yearns for the time when all mankind will enjoy life in Paradise as it was intended.

My Dearest Life

time Very Best Friend.

I'm so sad,though I know you are now out of all pain ,at rest and in a better place.God needed a Special Angel,so he called you home.

We have been through so much together-Good times, sad times. We have laughed and we have cried.You were always there for me and me for you.No one can ever take your place.

I will cherish the times we shared and remember how much you cared--and how kind you were to me and every one else.

You were so dear to me-so many precious memories!

I will love and remember you for ever.

And every time I think of you I will remember the poem you wrote in my autograph book so many years ago.

"When hills and Mountains divide us and we are far apart your name in golden letters will be stamped on my heart.

Rest in Peace my dear precious friend. We will meet again.
