Kenny, your mother was a special person to many.. the early years of VAMC patient contacts...her being there for Joyce all thru' nursing school. It was a priviledge to share the same Hi School as you attended in the lower grades. Thankful for the good contacts of earlier years. ruth apgar-glock

Dear friends,
Ruby will be missed. Our family has the fondest memories of living next door to her in Palmetto, Fl. Our parents and my brothers really enjoyed fishing from her seawall and dock. She was precious to us and we truly enjoyed her company.
