Ruby this is soo hard for me to sit here and write this. My heart is soo heavy Lord have Mercy lost of words. You were like a mother to me and my siblings you never felt like an Aunt. You been in our lives since me and my siblings came in this world. You know you're my favorite Aunt and im your favorite Niece always has. Im going to miss laughing and talking to you on the phone. Ruby what am im going to do now. I don't have you to vent out to. You always listen to me and you always stood up for me. You was an Aunt that see know wrong in me. I can write a book about you, but it would take many years for me to finish it. I thank God for allowing me to spend all my time with you. I love you Ruby. Your favorite Niece Cam
