Hi Molly, I'm new to this forum, so don't hurt my feelings if I ask a dumb question
First of all, I love David. I don't know why, I just do. Ever since I saw the movie that O half way fabricated, I started doing my own research. I have read the book by T.T and I have visited every site I could find. I came across some footage of David back in the day on Ebay, but I still want to be more knowledgable about Mr. Ruffin. I call myself new school becasue I am only 29 years old and I was not around back then. However, my father and I discuss Davis and the Temps alot. I was, or i shoud say still am upset about the way he was portrayed in that movie. Anyway, could you answer a few questions for me
1. How do you know David?
2. Is the person that is posting all of that lovely poetry on the find a grave website David's wife Sandra?
3. Was David married to Mrs. Geena S. Ruffin
4. How are his children? How old is Kimberly and David Jr? ( I think Cheryl and Nedra are about 43 and 41)
5. My uncle had a drug problem and died at the age of 33. We wish we would have had a judge commit him. Did anyone ever attempt to have David committed to an inpatient program?
Thank you, that is all for now.

BTW, don't be mad at O,, he is only looking for attention... he is lonely.. do you want to be his friend?? 1. On a fan level, I love the man he is awesome.. 2. Probably a stalker,, wannabee, a nut. 3. Hell Naw,,, please don't tell her I told you this she might publish another book.. 4. I don't know their ages but I know they are older than me.. 5. I heard everyone who was close to DER except Joy tried to help him. But he was his own man and chose his own path, we love you DER....

Welcome NS. Why would I hurt your feeling's? I saw this post earlier and my intentions was to answer you. But when I recieved your IM I got the impression I was taking too long to answer. I'll put the questions here so I can see them.
1. How do you know David? Ruffin was a friend of a very good friend of mine.
2. Is the person that is posting all of that lovely poetry on the find a grave website David's wife Sandra? I can't say I don't visit that website.
3. Was David married to Mrs. Geena S. Ruffin No 4. How are his children? How old is Kimberly and David Jr? ( I think Cheryl and Nedra are about 43 and 41)
I really don't know how old Ruffins children are. The range for Cheryl and Nedra sound right.
5. My uncle had a drug problem and died at the age of 33. We wish we would have had a judge commit him. Did anyone ever attempt to have David committed to an inpatient program?
I am so sorry about your uncle. I don't have personal knowledge of this. He did enter treatment on his own on a few times.
Please go through the threads. There are articles,interviews ect and tributes about Ruffin. Feel free to jump in on any discussions. Again welcome to the Palace.

Just speaking to someone who personally knew David makes tears come to my eyes. I know it may sound crazy, but for some reason, I have come to love every thing about this man. Thank You for repsonding and having integrity. I hate it when people lie and act like they know things and don't have a clue

Now that is a shame. Somebody is frequently posting on Find a Grave as SR. Now, people who know that David's ex wife name is Sandra Ruffin would naturally assume it was her. Are you 100 percent sure it is not her?
If it is not his ex wife, who else can it be. The only other SR is GS-R. I notice that SR post every just about every time a Jody post. Is this the same Jody mentioned on this board? Lord help me!! I can't believe women still fussing about David. He must have really had it going on.

I knew that was not Mrs.Sandra Ruffin. I knew it. NEWSCHOOL there is a poem writting war going on between SR and Jody. That Jody is the same Jody over here. Morning Sun. Her name taken I am assuming from my favorite David Ruffin solo song. The morning sun turns blue. Check it out at www.findagrave.com

NS, I wish to address the question regarding Find A Grave. First, I have been posting at Find A Grave for a very long time. Second, it is not me posting as SR. Third, Brandy and Sandra Ruffin post each day at the same time basically. Personally, I think it is Brandy posting as SR. I had to close my E-mail to Brandy, she harrassed me for months. So, it appears she started to do anything she could to make it look like Sandra and I have an one up going on. We do not...My purpose for posting at Find A Grave is stickly personal. I can't get to Detroit everyday, so, it is a place for me to go to leave a little love for David...

You knew where you stand on the sidelines but naw you continue to tell the world you where special. PLEASE... QNDF I don't have any idea who SR is that post at findagrave. I do know without a doubt that it is not Mrs.Sandra Ruffin. David was this womans husband and the father of her 3 children. There is no way she would put her personal feeling's on the www. along side a bunch of fans. No Way!!!! Sandra Ruffin is a very classy woman with a True connection to David. She would not participate in a posting war with these people.
