I feel like I've got to add my two cents, because I feel some things were barely touched on or left out completely, so here we go.

1. Summer and Ruby both have the last name "Rose". With lineage, it's safe to assume that she is a direct descendant, and Summer is likely her mother, due to Ruby visiting her grave alone in her trailer.

2. Few mentioned "Thus kindly, I scatter" written on the gravestone. "Thus kindly I scatter" is the 13th line in "The Last Rose of Summer", a poem about a rose who has seen all it's friends die and is left in the world alone. As it has nobody left, and all it's friends are dead, it's only wish is to die because it can't bear living without the others. I think this plays an important part in the story of Summer Rose since it was shown specifically on the gravestone.

3. Summer and Ruby wear the same style of cloak, so it's likely they were very close at some point during their lives, Ruby taking the same style after Summer.

4. Ozpin likely knew Ruby's mother. He seems to think fondly of her uncle Qrow, and likely had a close friendship with him, fondly calling him "a dusty old crow". If Ozpin knew Ruby's uncle, then it's safe to assume that he most likely knew Ruby's mother, father, or both as well. This may also be the significance behind her "silver eyes".

5. As for the statue, Jaune said his father up to his great great grandfather were all heroes. His sword is also a family heirloom, similair to the one in the statue, so it's not hard to believe the statue is of his family. Now as for the girl, all we know is she's wearing a cloak, and Ruby wear's a cloak. There's not really enough to connect them, so I think the statue is more specific to only Jaune.
