Remembrances
Ruby gave me the privilege of letting her son, John Gardner, live with us in Ukiah. She was gentle soul, but well able to handle any situation if needed. She was a good mother and friend.

Ruby was such a special person. She seemed to be there for everyone and always with a smile....and she sure could give you a good bear hug.
