Tom and Family, I was so sorry to hear this. Even though we've lost contact for obvious reasons through the years, I often thought of you and Ruby and some of the good times. She truly was a good hearted soul, who was also a tough cookie. She finally has the much deserved peace in her life. that she always wanted.
May the good Lord surround and comfort you all.
God bless you guys,
