Surely a blessing having Ruby and Swede in your best interest while growing up at Our Savior's Lutheran Church. Wonderful memories. Always that overwhelming smile like she knew what you were thinking and the many hugs she gave to let you know she cared. Special friend to many.

She sure had a neat spirit that won't be forgotten.
