This is Ruby. Our neighbors daughter and the closest thing Ellen and I have to a child. This is a practice pic for prom. Ruby is a very special person to a large group of people. She is a great friend and a sweet,sweet soul.She has all the problems of any teen and then some ,but she has learned to adapt and overcome them. Ruby does fairly well in school and as a junior at South Iredell Vol. Fire Dept.

I can't say how proud I am of her enough, she tries so very hard to balance her life and does a good job,though at times she struggles.

I hope she has a blast tonight and all the fun she can(I still don't understand why it's taken three days and an army of people to get to this point,but if she has fun,I guess it will all be worth it).

In the end Ruby means so much to Ellen and I and we will continue to help and support her all we can.

Ruby,

Have fun tonight.

I LOVE YOU!

Jimmy
