My Dear Dear Ruby,
Thank you for being in my life. Your patience and determination, even with the challenges these past few years, made it a pleasure to be around you. You were ALWAYS yourself! I'm so glad that we shared the memories together. You are in heaven now with Bill and those who went before you. Thanks for supporting me and being my sister Ruby. Your courage and wit has left lots of wonderful memories to your family, friends and all who ever knew you. I love you so much Ruby.
Your Sis, Mary Elizabeth (Lize`)
