Dear Sunny, Holly, Kathy, Nancy, Janet, and Family:
Betty and I wish to extend our most sincere condolences to each of you for the passing of your mother and our dear friend Ruby Ann Price. I was a very young principal at Charles Watrous Elementary School from 1968-1970 where Ruby was a very active and much appreciated parent and school volunteer. Ruby took me under her wing and provided much appreciated counsel and support to me during my years at Watrous. Ruby was a wonderful mother and positive influence in the lives of many children and school staff in her devoted years as a teacher associate and good friend. We know that you will have many fond memories of Ruby and our thoughts and prayers will be with each of you in the days that lie ahead.
