To the Kaelson Family
I have very fond memories of getting together your family and all the Jim Wrays on camping trips and going to your houses and all of you and the Wrays coming to ours. Really great fun times. When I got older had Ruby book cruise trips for my husband and I.
You´re in my thoughts and prayers at this time and always. Love you all.

She always had a smile on her face. One of my mother´s best friends. I have many memories of family camping trips and dinners! She was a fun lady and she brought sunshine everywhere she went. Martha Brown

Ruby lived in the same complex as I did. Infact I lived in two of her units ..the favorite being the one she called her Tree House. I loved it!.Every once in awhile 5 of us would get together & play Scrabble .All us also lived here. Myself..Susy, Phyllis, Craig, Jeannie, & Ruby .Ruby was an expert at Scrabble & many times you would question her word which was never wrong..She brightened up this place & you often saw her doing little chores outside in the pool area with the flowers, or just taking a stroll around the property..You always knew it was Ruby cause you could see her coming with her Red hair. I too had Red hair when I was younger & my husband then called me Ruby Red...
I will never forget Ruby she was so very kind, & had a great sense of humor..Rest easy Ruby & Thank You for letting me live in your Apt ( Tree House) for a few yrs. You will be greatly missed
