I was saddened to hear of Ruby's passing and that of her daughter Faye, The Briggs were neighbors to my family in the 1950's and my mother, Iola Miller and Ruby remained friends for years. Floyd and my father, Milo Miller, were fellow truckers and friends for years, too. Just recently, at the time of my brother Greg's funeral, I thought back to the night he was born and that my father took me the Briggs' home when Dad took Mom to the hospital. I fondly remember many hours spent in Hitchcock Park with the Briggs kids when we were neighbors. May Ruby rest in peace. -Gary Miller, Park City, Kansas12/31/2012 4:54 PM
