Hey Brenda Joan and Debra Jean this is Ramona Mallette Wilkerson, Jack's daughter, from TN. Robert Spradlin, Jr. called to let us know that Ruby had passed away. I wanted to let you know how sorry I am. You know Jack passed away in Nov of 2006. I miss him greatly. He was a wonderful father. I hate that we live so far apart and have not been able to see each other for years.  We had such good times when we were younger. Email me sometime at wilkersonr2@hotmail.com and maybe we can keep in touch. Love from your cousins in TN. Ramona

The family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Losing a loved one is never easy, and losing someone as great as her makes it even harder. Her and I had alot of good times working togeather for all those years at Jiffy. She taught me so much  about the business world, as well as life in general. She will always hold a very special place in my heart.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.  She seemed more content these past few years as I would see her with the people from her church and seemed to really like her volunteer work.
