To the family of Ruby I wish to extend my sympathy. Ruby will not be forgotten, as she was an untiring volunteer for the Red Cross Bloodmobile until she absolutely could not attend any more. How we have missed her, and will continue to miss her.

Faye & Mike, My thoughts and prayers are with you during your lost. Your Mother was such a wonderful person. I worked with her when she was School Nurse for the Bedford County School System in late 60s as her secretary. She was a very caring and loving person. She will be missed.
