Leave a tribute for Ruby Parkins Scott.
To Bonnie and family : Sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. We’re keeping you in our thoughts during this difficult time. All our love, Tony and Lisa
I am going to miss you, Ruby. The last time we were together we did what we often did on Friday trash day. I rolled your trash can up to your porch. Sometimes we enjoyed the thin lemon cookies we both liked so much, but mostly we chatted about this and that. For those who are sad, rejoice and be exceeding glad for great is her reward in heaven. Hymn words: Sing the wondrous love of Jesus, sing his mercy and His grace. In the mansion bright and blessed He'll prepare for us a place. When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be. When we all see Jesus, We'll sing and shout the victory.
