I would like to send my condolences to all of Ruby's loved ones. I lived in the house next door for a couple of years, and I got to know Ruby as the lovely lady who was always there to assist us with any kind of questions or help. I cherish the Christmas cards she prepared for us every year, which was such a nice gesture.

We loved to talk about her garden, that she always kept green and tidy. She was a lovely lady, with so much positive energy, for everyone in her life. I will cherish those memories.

My deepest condolences,
Jonas

Thanks too for your donation. We had a guide dog puppy years ago called Tally who we got back later when she retired. Mum loved her very much so it seemed the right charity for donations. Xx

There are no words to describe the loss of my lovely Ruby, my adopted grandmother. I have always dreamt of growing up to be able to come over to my grandmother and buy her presents, take her places, tell her the stories and do many other exciting things with her. Sadly, she passed away when I was just 13 and she was the only grandmother I’ve ever known.

Over 20 years have passed since then and I was blessed to have met Ruby. A life has given me another chance to have a grandmother in my life again, my adopted grandmother. We quickly bonded as neighbours and it was so great to have Ruby next door. Pandemic has brought us even closer. We shared so many laughs, long chats and stories, food, drinks, love of gardening, trying on some new dresses and then deciding to either keep them or return, this is just to name a few! We’ve discovered new treats from Sainsbury’s deliveries – Muscat grapes! I had accidently ordered them to try and then shared some with Ruby. She fell in love with these grapes and kept asking me to re-order! Muscat grapes will forever remind me of Ruby!

I have always loved Ruby’s garden, she kept it immaculate and her amazing jasmine received so many compliments from passers-by admiring her well-kept fence.
The love and care Ruby had for everyone was sincere, deep and endless. She’s always been extremely proud of Lindsey, her family, and all other family members, all grandchildren great-grandchildren. And it was wonderful to get to know the family.

I have always thought to myself that if I can live this long, look so great and have so much love for life like Ruby did, I’ll be the luckiest person in the world. She was fair, passionate and feisty!

I am forever grateful that I had been given another chance in my life to have an adopted grandmother, and I couldn’t have wished for a better grandmother.

Thank you, my lovely Ruby, my adopted grandmother, for being in my life. I will always love and remember you.
Lots of love, Svetlana XXX
