Good evening everyone.

It is with a very heavy heart that we share with you tonight, the passing of an angel. We have prayed for Ruby before, because she was suffering from Cancer, and we were all hoping that a miracle would come. It wouldnt be the first miracle for her. Her life was full of miracles.

We learned about Ruby from one of our dearest friends, Joan, who adored her to no end. Ruby was Joans best friend, Alicia’s dog. Ruby had a difficult time in her earlier years.  She was found by two workers who heard her whimpers from  inside of a closet,  in a home that was about to be torn down . She was abandoned in that closet,  with the door shut. There was broken glass everywhere. Thank God for those workers. They called the right people, and Ruby was taken to the local animal shelter where she was saved. Alicia’s daughter, Candace was there helping out, and immediately took to Ruby. She took her home to Alicia, and Alicia fell in love with her. It was a blessing for all of them. Ruby was a miracle from the start. She loved her brother Cash so much,  and she also loved cats. The Kitty you see with her in this photo, is the one she loved the most.

Ruby was a very gentle and very loving dog. She hardly ever even barked. She gave so much love to everyone, and touched all who knew her. She was surrounded by love when she crossed over the rainbow bridge into heaven. She will be deeply missed.

Joans fondest memory of Ruby, in her own words was “When we were at a State Park  We were sitting side by side with my arm around her, and I gave her a kiss on her forehead and then she turned and gave me a kiss on my cheek . I will never ,ever forget that moment….. Rest in peace,  my sweet, precious Ruby. I will  always love you. Run free and be happy until we meet again.

We send out prayers of healing and love to Alicia, Candace and Joan. We ask God to be with them through this very painful time. And we also send out prayers to Ruby. You were so loved, and that love will live on, until you all meet again, on the other side of this world. Now you are young again, and free of any pain. You will be missed dearly. You will be remembered always.

No lives will go in vain. No pain will go unnoticed. Amen.

Love from,
Jessica Lee Smith,
