To Mrs. Ruby's family: Jim and I have grown up with Ms. Ruby and Mr. Herman right across the street. I have fond memories of sharing a birthday every year with Mr. Herman since Mama and Daddy bought his cake when they bought mine! It will never be the same now that Ms. Ruby is gone too. We always tried to look out for her over the years that she was alone. Mama and Daddy always kept check on her too. We are terribly sorry for your loss and want the family to know that you will be in our prayers. Please let us know if you need anything. We love you all,

Janet, Russell & Rusty Rose, Jim, Sinia and Rocio Sibley.
