I am truly saddened by the passing of Ruby. She was my classmate, friend, and cousin. Once Ruby came back to Virginia to live, a few of our classmates had an impromtu get-to-gather to reminise our school days. Of course eating was without question. We shared some other meals at the Surry Seafood Restaurant and another impromptu get-to-gather meal at The Olive Garden Restaurant in Hampton near Ruby's apartment with just four of us (Ruby, Mary Butler, Gladoria Young---who was in town, and myself). As always we took pictures and had an unforgettable time. Ruby, with her wonderfully pleasing personaity was always a joy to be aound. Those memories I will forever cherish until . . .

My sympathies to the family. Ruby was a sweet and gentle soul with contagious laughter. We were classmates graduating in 1970. Her presence will be missed.
