Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. I would call Ruby and she would give me the best advice and comfort in times when I really needed it with my husband Earl Bolen he was sick for 5 years and passed away 1 1/2 year ago and also gave me comfort also.
She was a great lady and friend. I will cherish the memories always.
