It's sad to no longer have Ruby in the lives of her children, grandchildren and other relatives but there is comfort in knowing that she is once again with JW. May she rest in peace.

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. Remember her as a survivor, a warrior....she fought long and hard against the disease. And that is just one more reason to be proud she was your mom.
