I have known Ruby for a number of years and enjoyed visiting with her and delivering her Mary Kay Cosmetics. She was always smiling and talked often of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was so proud. May we be at peace with our memories of joy and know she's up in heaven baking up a storm. My understanding and love goes out to all of you. God Bless You, Bonnie Moravec
