In the short time that I knew Ruby, I came to know her as a very loving and giving women. She was always caring for those around her and other peoples needs came before her own.
She was such a pleasure to be around and I wish I had known her longer. Her family and friends were very blessed to have her in their lives. Find comfort in the many memories of her and know that she is now home with God the Father.
