I just learned of your passing. It is Dec. 10th 2014. Although I called Hershel every 3 months for the last 14 years, and then continued to call you after his passing, noone knew to call me. I hadn't called in Feb when I was supposed to. My brother Harry got cancer and he passed on March 1st. I tried and tried to call with voicemail answering everytime. I have been worried about you. I will miss you. You and Hershel were the sweetest people and I was very honored to call you Aunt and Uncle. I am glad you two are together again with Our Lord. Love Always, Deborah ( Sorg) Danner

Ruby,
You would have been so proud of your funeral today. As usual you were the "life" of the party. It was great hearing your son tell the incredible story of your life, laughing and crying at the same time.
Yes you were a friend to many---we all loved you. Now you are with your Lord and Savior and that sweet man that loved you so much. I imagine Hershel opened a few doors for you already.
I was honored you helped us on the SCT many years. It was a delight hearing you talk and laugh.
Love
Mary Dibene

I am going to miss you Ruby. You were part of my extended family. Mom to my special friend, Randall. You will always be that sweet, perpetually young at heart, fun-loving person who welcomed me to your home on so many occasions.
