I am so sorry for your loss.
My grandmother, Barnette "Barney" Mills, spoke of Ruby and her family often with such great love.
I am so thankful for her service to our great country, yet sad that another Hero has been sent home...
May peace and the love of Christ be with your family right now as your grieve the loss of Aunt Ruby.
Blessings,
