As I remember, Ms. Ruby was my neighbor when I was growing up as a young girl. My mother, who is deceased was very good friends with Ms. Ruby. Our family and her family we were very very close. Just like we were all related. Very sorry for your loss. My condolences to her children and friends. She was a very beautiful person inside and out.
