I have missed Ruby June so much since last May! We had fun as Combs cousins and members of the Pine Mountain Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Whitesburg. I stayed with her after Cecil passed away and I visited her in Columbus, GA so she always kept me up to date about her brothers Bill and Steve. Ella Combs'father and Viola Combs'father were brothers and are buried at Isom, KY. Viola Combs Moore was my Mother. You are in my prayers, Kaye
