To Ruby's family,
Please accept my condolences upon Ruby's passing. You are in my prayers for God to give you strength and comfort and to fill your hearts with all the good and fun memories that she shared with you. From reading her obituary, I'm sure there are many. I didn't know Ruby but I enjoyed working with Walt for many years at Caterpillar Mossville in engineering and I always admired him as a fine gentleman.
