My deepest sympathy to Ruby's family. Ruby was such a delight to work with. I knew her at the VAMC and also saw her volunteering at the blood bank. She was always cheerful, friendly, caring and smiling. Her tenderness, kindness and compassion came through not only to the patients that she cared for but to the friends and co-workers she knew. May God Bless and keep you.
