This is my Aunt Ruby, one of the best Aunts anyone could ask for. Married to the Best Uncle anyone could ask for. She was such a special person,. I remember all the good times down at the cabin when we were younger. She took care of all of us kids, always let us do a little bit more, stay up a little longer, play a little longer than everyone else would. She will be truly missed. I love you Aunt Ruby, Your loving niece Dianne

The Bible describes the future condition of humankind on earth by stating that God “will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4) The Provider of the marvelous benefits and happifying conditions to come declares: “The former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart. But exult, you people, and be joyful forever in what I am creating.”—Isaiah 65:17, 18. I'm very sorry for your lose. May God's words seek to comfort you and your family. Sincerely, Meryl
