Ruby and Roy were so good to our family. I think they were the first people we met in Jax Bch! They invited us to church and we met so many wonderful people that helped our path!
Such a special influence to so many people!
We had such a special time when we went to the Women's retreat in St Simons in 1982.. Truly an angel!!
She loved her family and special times together!
Our hearts are with you !
