I knew Ruby from the time I was 8 years old. I feel like she was a member of my family. She was the one who phoned me when my Mother passed away in 1990. Ruby found her when she did not respond to calls/appointments. I will always be so grateful to her for being the one to know. My mother and Betty Turner were great friends and Ruby took such great care of both of them when they were widowed. i wonderd why my card was returned....now, i know. I was about to call her for our annual hour long visit on the phone....
Bless her soul! I loved her...............
