Janie...I don't have the words that will wipe your sorrow away. But, know you all are in my prayers and God will give you the comfort you need. Ru was such a fun loving lady. I always enjoyed when we would meet up with her for lunch on our visits up the mountain : ) Love you friend!
Ruby was such an amazing person. When I would come to work and see her she always had a smile on her face. She was so caring and nurturing towards others. Trinity Ridge won’t be the same without Ruby that’s for sure. I will forever miss her🩷
