Dear family, your loved one, Ruby, and my mom, Esther, rode beside one another for the last two years on the little Westend bus. In better times, they may have been good friends by being nearly the same age, by having Bethleham Steel ties, and by having family and vacation lifestyles in common. It is good to know your loved one had a loving family, a nice career, and a good life. Our condolences go out to you and may you have peace in the Lord. Sincerely, friends you do not know, Esther, her daughter, Kathy and son-in-law Charles
