We just heard about Ruby. Every time we visited Dad from Wisconsin we would stop in to say 'Hi'. She was one of the warmest people I knew and will miss her greatly. Please accept Chris's and my condolences. Karl (PS) I loved her pies.

I offer my deepest condolences to all of Ruby's family. Ruby and Cledith meant a great deal to me. They were a large part of my life for many years. I felt like part of the family. Though I know everyone misses her dearly. I know that she has graduated into Heaven where she is in the presence of her Lord and Saviour, Jesus. In that, I celebrate with you. Cam Davis

Ruby will be greatly missed! I was blessed to be able to visit and "sit" with her while she was under Hospice care. Ruby was a lovely lady, funny, caring, and always had a smile on her face. May God comfort Ruby's family during this difficult time.

Dear Chapman Family, It is with deep regret that I was unable to go to the funeral home. Since Donald's passing I am not in very good shape myself. It certainly is hard to give up our precious loved one but we can certainly thank God that we rest assured that they are no longer suffering.
Love to all of you Cleda

"God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best."
It's true too!! Ruby was such an amazing and joyful person to know and be around. Andrew and I are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you all.
Love Paige & Andrew

I want each and everyone of you to know that your mother took my heart strings the first time I met her. She made me feel special and she is special to me. I would like for you to remember this little saying:
It's not the years in your life that counts, but the life in your years.
I know that she touched every heart that she spoke to and we'll miss her dearly.
