To The Caliste Family: May God give each of you strength and comfort. Growing up on Caffin Avenue with so many caring neighbors mean so much to us. We were so Bless to know Ms. Ruby, and with her stern direction that kept us on the right path. She would always stress education. It does take a village to instill productive lives.
