To The Family of Ms. Ruby,
I am Betsy Gross and Ms. Ruby worked with me as the adoptive grandmother in my room. I never had another one after her because no one could compare. She was wonderful to the students and me. The students still speak kindly of her. I loved her and will miss her deeply. I pray that God bless you in your time of loss.
With Deepest Simpathy,
Betsy Gross
