Alan and Ruby Hatcher are my Godparents, very good friends of my parents, and a part of my childhood memories growing up in Newfoundland. Yesterday, Ruby passed away after a relatively short battle with lung cancer.
I hadn't seen either of them for many years. Last year, on my trip home to Newfoundland, I saw Ruby again at my parents' anniversary party. It was very nice to have seen her again, and I distinctly remember how pleased she was to have seen me after so many years. It was a short time after that that my mother found out that Ruby had cancer.
I am saddened at her passing. Another person who was much too young to leave us has gone.
Rest in peace, Ruby.
