I had the pleasure of working with Ruby in the Department of Education. She was highly competent, pleasant, and a joy to work with. After she retired, I lost contact with her for many years, but about two years ago I was blessed to reconnect when I saw her name on a mailbox as I was visiting someone in the building where she lived. Oh, what a thrill! My condolences go out to Ruby's entire family. It is my prayer that you find peace in knowing where she is and that you can see her again. Hold on to all of the wonderful memories and trust God to fill the void that has been created in your hearts, to fill the empty seat at the table, and to be the link that mends the broken chain. May God bless you always. Love,

I worked with Ruby in the Department of Education for over twenty years. She was no doubt one of the nicest and most competent people that I have ever met. My sympathies to her husband and children, all of whom she was extremely proud.
