I haven't seen Ruby for a long time but we worked together at Golden West for a long time. A wonderful person, now in a better place. God bless you, Ruby, and your family.

We are so sorry about Ruby and everything that she went through. We know she will be missed more than words can say by each and everyone of you. She was so lucky to have such wonderful children and grandchildren who loved her so much. Mark has such wonderful memories of spending a lot of time at your house when he was younger. He thought a lot of Ruby and Junior. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Mark and Debbie Ellis
