I did not know you but I can tell that you were a great person - through your love of art. I wish I had been able to meet you and be able to give you my appreciation for being a truly caring man. I look forward to seeing you in Heaven and telling you this at that time - God Bless...Rickie Beth

Your work is breath taking! What a joy it has been to view it. I found myself wishing to get "inside&quot ; the computer to see better! Or maybe I just wanted to become part of your mini scenes to experience the wonderful settings, baked goods, and cheeses for myself! I am praying for you. Cindy

Wow Ruben's EVERYTHING is so wonderful! The detail is amazing. Everytime I look (& it was often) I find even more things to see. It makes me want to go in your store & buy some of that food.I love a scene when it has a lot of items in it. Makes it seem so real. Great work. PS: Don't lose heart. We are stronger than we think. God will see you through. You're going to make it. I will be looking forward to seeing more of your great work. TWEED/PatW.-GSOLFOT
