Janice,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.
Remember her at the best time of her life and she will always be with you. She was a wonderful woman.
You cared for her as much as you could. I am so sorry I can not be with you but I have another death in the family and I need to be with them.

Janice and Elena,
My heart goes out to you both at this sad time. I hope you find some comfort in knowing that Ruby is restored to her once-vibrant self as she enjoys the rewards of heaven. You both loved her well and took wonderful care of her. I will continue to pray that you find healing and peace as time passes. I love you both!
