As you know, you and Uncle Sid were always very precious to us. We will never forget the time you came for our 4th of July family picnic. That meant so much to us - and the memories will be with us forever. Ruby, we love you very much, and if you ever need us for anything, please don't hesitate to call. We kow there is a happy reunion in heaven with Sid and Eva today, along with all his other sisters and brothers. We are keeping you and your family in our prayers at this time.
