I miss Mama Ruby! She was such an amazing, beautiful and matter of fact lady! She never bit her tongue and I loved her for that. I had the privledge of watching her get baptized along with a fellow bible student of ours. I will never forget when in the dressing room, (or it could have been right after she got out of the pool) when she said, "I'm a Jehovah's Witness now!" What a beautiful and happy occasion! She and Papa Mcleod Sr would affectionately call me their daughter I would always joke and say that I'm the black daughter in the family-the Strom Thurmond secret in the family. Lol! Man, I miss her beautiful smile and laugh! Her awesome jewelry that she made and her encouraging words at the right time. My heart truly goes out to the family! Especially Papa Mcleod! 64 years of marriage! OMG! Did they get married at 5?!! They both always looked so good for their age! My husband and I have known the family for quite some time and they have always treated me and my family like we were blood. We will NEVER forget the love shown by the entire family. Family, please know that we love you so much and are here for you. Mama Ruby has touched so many lives and have passed that gift on to all of you! May Jehovah God help you thru it all. She is sleeping for now, but not for long. We just need to make sure we all continue doing our best and living for Jehovah God, and following his son Jesus' footsteps to make sure we are there when Jesus wakes her up. I so look forward to Psalms 37:9-11,29 and John 5:28. Until then, may Jehovah and Jesus help you thru and know that we are here for all of you! You are not alone. Love you all to da moon n back!
Your sis and Friend-Robin Smith & Family.
