Ruby,

You were a kind soul, a very giving person who I considered my 2nd mother. You were there for me to talk to, watch old movies and shows with, and someone that just made me feel better about myself.

I do not know which words to use, to thank you enough and to express my love for you. I am truly heartbroken and will miss you greatly. Thank you for the laughs and hugs. Love you!
