Ms. Ruby Nell and my Mother, Martha shared a special bond while working at the Dairy King together for many years. Both Ms. Ruby Nell and Mom shared with me some of those humorous stories. Both women cared deeply about the other. I am also a recipient of Ms. Ruby Nell's compassion, for which I am very grateful. To all of her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren, thanks for sharing your Beloved Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, and Great-Great Grandmother with me. Ms. Ruby Nell was a source of great encouragement to me, and we will sorely miss her.
