Linda, Janice, and Sharon, We were so saddened by the passing of Ruby. I have such fond memories of staying with Becky during our high school years and being at your home with all of you. We were so delighted to see your mom and Janice at Victoria Drug during her move. She is now with your dad as well as both Mike's and my parents and in the presence of our Heavenly Father. May God continue to bless you and may you find comfort in knowing how much your family was loved. In Christ's Love, Katherine & Michael, Sr.
