I am saddened to hear of Ruby´s passing, and though it has been some time, I would like to offer my condolences to Ron and the rest of her family. I lived in Tularosa back in the late 80´s and Ruby and I ride-shared to Holloman AFB. I was recalling my time there just today and thought about her mother-Mary, with whom we attended the Tularosa Church of the Nazarene, Ruby, Ron, and so many others with whom our lives crossed. It was a very blessed period in our lives to have known so many wonderful people and to be a part of such a small tight-knit community.
