inquisitive manner; and |

|
|
personality, this charming little girl has already brightened the |

|
|
aunts and uncles, State Representative Dennis Bonnen and his wife, |
|
|
Kim, and Clay and Jaclyn Abernathy; Ruby is also adored and will be |
|
|
well protected throughout her life by her cousins, Jackson and |

|
|
her loved ones, she looks forward to enjoying her favorite meal of |
|
|
chicken and avocado on her special day; and |
|
|

|
|
embrace of a wonderful family, and with their support and guidance, |
