I have reason to believe that Ruby has passed away, this is JC and obviously nothing is definite to start with, I was advised not to post, however, I believe the person who was given the information , a really good pal of Ruby’s can’t post as not registered at this time and I hate the thought of no one knowing and paying respects because of that. If I am wrong and its all a fabrication, well, then I have egg on my face, but hell, who cares.
I really liked Rubenstein ( she liked me calling her that ) Funny, Passionate about her beliefs without being nasty or condescending, down to earth, a people person. I send my condolences to her family, as I’m sure we all do, and friends, Cosy ( big hugs ) I know you were great pals and she loved you because she knew you as many don’t xx Rest In Peace Rubes, Very Much Missed xxx
Thank you mooosey for accepting the offer to tell others on behalf of cosy’s request.
As knowing both cosy and ruby’s rather cheerful engagements while chatting, doubting his sincere sadness today as presented today by others can be a challenge. Why would cosy lie about a dear relationship which would impact him more than many others? Plus he never has lied to me, mellow in responding to others whom were negative. Not cursing, but used word….please….that our normal Cosy? No that not…
Ruby and I had such a roller coaster ride of up and down engagements while chatting.. We had great times talking about crock pot cooking, and a new one needed prior to Christmas..her drinking and trying to reduce, her health decline, leg issues, loss of a final family member..and so on. And when we battled it was hell on earth.
But having a relationship with one if it good or bad, some very small things of remembrance remind you, you were involved with that person..
I send out most importantly to her family members my prays and support at this difficult time. For her friends, and especially cosy,a peace of mind that she no longer will suffer with her physical issues and declines she so frustrated with often of late. Remember the good times, keep her in your heart, she will never be truly gone from you.
She probably looking down at me on this writing, saying, “wtf Linda, what u all about.”
Rest in peace, Ruby red……

WOW sad news. Seems so sudden, we were only having a giggle the other day. We had our ups and downs but she was a funny lass.
How awful.
She will be missed.

Very very sad
RIP Ruby x
That was an upsetting shock.
I’ve chatted with Ruby on board and in chatroom for years. She was great to talk to, a woman of strong principles but funny and caring.
We often wondered whether our paths had crossed in the Hackney Labour Club in the late 1970s, and swapped memories of the pubs, meetings and gigs of that time.
RIP, Ruby. You’ll be missed xxxx
I didn’t know ruby that well how ever my thoughts go out to to family and close friends x
I dont know the lady in question but obviously its a shame anyone dies before old age which presumably she hadn’t reached yet. I can understand a thread of respect sharing memories but can never grasp what RIP is supposed to signify as we are all at peace when we die unless one believes in some hellish afterlife with the devil. What is the alternative to not resting in peace?
Well, the term is usually seen as Christian.
Many Christians, mainly Protestant, believe we have fallen asleep until Christ comes again. Catholics believe that we go to Heaven or Purgatory or Hell so RIP is a hope.
Ruby was a convinced atheist. I think we use RIP as a conventional term of mourning and respect, without thinking of the Christian technicalities.
Ruby is mourned here, and most certainly respected.
I know that it has been said many many times that cosy lies and not tell truths regarding certain things. Perhaps, but this done way before I joined JC, or knew cosy. Many know I have supported him. He is my friend, never lied to me, and I have no trust issues when it comes to our relationship…
But I would on his behalf as he can not, thank all that has responded and made comments regarding Ruby. He may not seem to most as a caring man, but this the side of cosy many not know. If he takes you under his embrass, treasures your friendship, you mates for life regardless of your issues if you have any..
So thank you for Ruby, and thank you to the many who provided cosy comfort and no malice on this difficult time for him… xxx
Linda
