Mrs. Rubin & Family, I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but Mr. Rubin was an exceptional person. There will never be anyone else like him in my life, & I will miss him VERY much. I am so sorry for your loss, but I'm sure you have so many happy memories of your time with him. I hope those memories will help you through this time of sorrow.
