I'm the Dining Service Director at Covenant Woods. Ruby may have only lived here for a short period of time, But I felt like I had known her forever from the first time I met her! She was a precious lady with a big smile and sense of humor. I wish I had more time to get to know her. I am so sorry for your loss.
