I am sorry for your tremendous loss. Ruby is the most charming Lady. I so enjoyed her stories she shared of her family. She was extremely proud of her family, and said God had blessed her. She will be missed greatly.

Ruby was a wonderful neighbor and friend. We did many fun things together and laughed a lot. Our daughter and granddaughters enjoyed their visits with Ruby and Carl, who provided many great memories on the water. Ruby and her beautiful smile will be sorely missed. We will wave to her. She is with her God smiling down on us.
