A Birthday Wish for Tanner


I have been staple gunning/taping posters with Ruby's picture and info to telephone poles and community mailboxes since early this morning. Tim and some of his guys went door to door last night til 8pm and today he had Kwik signs make plastic (2 ft x 3 ft) signs that slide on metal posts and I have put them out as well. The Bakersfield Californian will run an add with her picture tomorrow and I have her on Craigs List.
The desperation I feel runs deep and grows rapidly. Tomorrow is Tanner's bday and when he got home, he came and hugged me and said all he wanted for his bday was Ruby back. Wow! That smarts! I would love nothing more than for that bday wish to come true.

I ask "Army Goodell" on bended knee, for your prayers to get Ruby home.

Pray On!

this family has got to be due for a break here soon... I now Ruby's absence must in many ways make your grief over Robynn so much more intense... It hardly seems fair that any one family should have to endure so much... we will be praying that she returns quickly and safely to you...

Dear Shelly,
I just finished my chemo treatment and read the blog. I was praying to god today during treatment and I kept saying "I Trust Jesus". I'm praying for Ruby to come home now. I will post on my blog to have the Jett Gang to pray for Ruby. I trust Jesus to bring Ruby home. Have Faith:) Debbie Jett

St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals will be apart of our prayer vigil; we want nothing more than a Blog posting indicating that Ruby is home safe & sound with your family!!!

In love & hope,
The West's

Oh little Ruby! I wish you could click your heels together because there's "no place like home"! I hope with all of my heart that your family will find peace in Ruby's quick and safe return. Oh how I pray for this! I also pray for Tanner as he celebrates his first birthday without Aunt Robynn.
