To me, Ruby was a great lady! Having been her pastor’s wife for many many years she was nothing but a fantastic source of encouragement to me. I have not been her pastors wife for 16 years now but after a recent stay in the hospital I found in my mailbox a precious note of encouragement from Ruby. She mentioned that she had fallen but her greater concern was not for herself but for me! That is the wonderful Ruby I knew. Her name fit her so well. She was a rare jewel! The next time I visit Eastland I will miss her standing on the side waiting to give me a hug.
