Dru, Matt, Tim, Ted, Casey, Timmy, Zach, and Mary Catherine,
I'm so very sorry. I will miss Aunt Ruby so much. We use to have great conversations together and I looked forward to her telephone calls. I will always remember the fun times we had during the summer and how she made me feel so welcome. She had such a hearty laugh and I will miss hearing that. Aunt Ruby was always so good to my boys and Scott and they loved her. We will miss her so much. Love to you all.

I had the pleasure of working with Ruby at the Baton Rouge General in the late 1980's. She taught me how to work the bed board. I often thought about her and wish I would have kept in touch.
