Sorry to hear about the loss of Ruby. I met her in Minneapolis Minnesota through her sister Martha. My love and prayers go out to her family. She was a good woman who loved her family and the youth and elders of her tribe.
Our most sincere condolences for your loss. Please find comfort in God’s promise of everlasting life (John3:16) on the basis of the great love he has for mankind, God is doing something even now to remove our problems, including death. Our thoughts are with you.
