She was always there if I needed to talk to someone when I was young. I couldn't talk to my mother so she was like a 2nd mother to me. She understood me where my mother didn't. I miss her & Uncle Gene even though I know I will see them again. Love you dearly Aunt Ruby & hearing you sing Patsy Cline's "I go out walking in the moonlight" or " I Fall to Pieces". There will never be another like you, those young years were fun. Thank you!

I worked with Ruby at the Italian kitchen back in the early 90's. She was so nice. Prayers for you and the family.
