My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. I felt as if I knew your Ruby, because of my co-worker Alisha Williams your daughter in-law. She spoke of you fondly and of your great time together on your "Girls Trip" to the coast last summer. May the memories you made with them bring comfort to them. May you rest in peace.
