George,
I am so sorry to read of the passing of Ruby. You two were the cutest couple I’ve ever met. So loving and caring of one another, even during her illness the last few years. You stood committed to her daily, and I have an endearing respect for you as a man/husband. May God bless you during this difficult time. (Clair and I send our deepest sympathy!)
