So sorry to hear of Ruby’s passing. She was one of my double cousins. Anna and my mother, Pearl were sisters and Glenn and my father, Vernon (Bud) were brothers. The family resemblance is unmistakable! Condolences to all of you as you say goodbye your mom. She was a spark in our family tree!

Was very sorry to hear of Ruby’s passing. Growing up in Helena I spent many an hour at the Kasman household. Ruby and Marion made their home my second home. I truly did cherish the time I spent with them. I particularly remember just sitting around the kitchen table just talking about anything. Rest in peace Ruby. You were loved by many!

I was very sorry to hear of Roby Lee’s passing. We played together as kids, went to school together as friends as well as cousins, as we were close to the same age. Cousin Robert Olson, Hamilton, Mt

I am sorry to hear of Ruby Lee’s passing. Your parents Ruby Lee and Marion were dear friends of my parents. We all had many good times together. I am sure there was a big reunion going on in Heaven. May God Bless you in this time of sorrow.
