Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you ~ John 16:22
I’m truly sorry for your loss. Ann was a beautiful person who will be dearly missed. She was always smiling and talking trash whenever I got to see her. May God bless and keep you all.
So sorry for your loss. I will truly miss my dear friend, Ann. God bless all of you.
Ms.Ruby was my future mother in law. For almost 8 years we took many rides and had lots of conversations together about life, family and friendships. She was a no nonsense woman with a true giving heart. If she had it she would offer. I’m gonna miss her deep laugh, and our talks on the porch during the summer while looking at crazy people in the neighborhood buying slush. We recently started a joke with each other where I would call her by her middle name and she’d call me by mine. It hurts me so much to say So long Ms.Ruby Ann for the last time. I love you and we will miss you so much!
I’m so sorry for you and your family lost I love you and mama Rickerson well be greatly missed
