Kim & Kristy,
Gary and I are sorry for your loss.
We knew for sure she was a big fan of Kevin Harvick. I enjoyed hearing her and Gary talk about the races. She would get so excited. You should have seen her when Gary got her a KH race day hat.
Prayers for your families.

Sandy and I spent many of miles parking at Miss ruby’s house and walking for miles all over Albemarle . She was a wonderful friend to me as was her late husband Richard being my husband’s best buddy. We spend many hours with them just sitting around talking and of course Richard and Robert loved to go back behind their house where they both had built them a deer stand just to sit in their stands relaxing till that big deer came by. They will definitely always have a special place in our hearts forever. Together again in heaven. RIP my friend ❤️
