In Memory of Beautiful Ruby
In January, members of the team at The Dream Factory attended the funeral for beautiful Ruby. It was a touching tribute and celebration of her life.
Ruby’s Dream was to have a golden retriever. She named her puppy Star. But the real star was Ruby who was such a brave and beautiful young lady.
