Not sure what to say?

So sad to hear of Aunt Ruby's passing. I just want all of the family to know how much I appreciated her when my own mom was dying. She came often to visit and helped lift both Mom's and my spirits!

Last seen paddling her kayak back across Lake Seymour, having accompanied Kenni's 2017 swim across the lake.

A fine and gentle lady, who will be missed. An inspiration to us all.
