Our sympathy goes out to the entire Luckey family... I went to school with Sally many years ago and remember Ruby from back then... Have not seen them in years... Would like to have Sally's address if someone could let me know, I would appreciate it... Having just lost my Mother last December, my heart goes out to each one of you... Love and Prayers.
