I met Mrs Ruby while she was in the Meadows. I was sitting with Mrs Carol Granger & she & I would often visit with Mrs Ruby. Bless her heart when she was confused I would try to make her laugh to divert her attention. Storm Harvey changed her life sadly. Beneath her confusion & upsetness was a sweet kind lady who loved her family. We were sad when she moved facilities. Thanx for allowing us to be a small part of her life. We will cherish the memories and keep y'all in our prayers. She's at rest peacefully now. Our thoughts & Prayers. Melinda Buller & Mrs Carol Granger
