My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Ruby was a special lady, we had so much fun together. One year at Thanksgiving I had no where to go, she said you are coming to our house. That meant alot to me and still does, she was always about family, and making sure that they were taken care of. RIP sweet lady. Prayers for all of you.
My deepest condolences to the family!!
