We enjoyed our times with Carl and Ruby at the Silver Sneakers classes at Club USA as we all tried to find our balance and stay in shape. Parkside has missed Ruby and we see Carl out often tidying up the yards...his own and neighbors as well. Our sympathy to the whole family...such a legacy left behind.
Lloyd and I always thought she was a very special person. She worked very hard all her life. She was Carl's right hand woman. They loved each other very much. Their anniversary party at the Ranch was so festive. Love, indeed, was in the air. Ruby designed the front porch on our house and Carl built it. Ruby had a bridal shower for me that I will long remember. She loved flowers - even artificial ones in winter. She was a great decorator of fashion and home. She raised 4 beautiful daughters and loved boating on weekends and water skiing. Heaven is blessed to have her come home. We miss her. Our love goes out to Carl, Becky, Beverly, Bonnie and Barbie.
Our thoughts land prayers are with Carl and the girls in their time of grief. We adored Ruby and I (Joyce) had so many good times with her.
Our deepest condolences to Carl, Becky & Andrea, Barb, Beverly, and Bonnie.
Many hugs and kissed to all the Bates family. She will always hold a spot in my heart, Ruby and Carl were there for my family at all the toughest times. This world will miss her smile and sweet heart!
