Prayers for all the family, and friends who are grieving the loss of this loved one. I didn't know her, but I know one of her grandkids well technically two Amanda and Custer (her brother). Amanda is the one I have a close relationship with. I'm grateful to know Ruby and her legacy and traits she likely passed on to her incredible granddaughter such as a sweet smile, a joy in hard times, and a good story teller. - the Castorena family
