Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Ruby was a special longtime friend and we shared some great chats & times of laughter over the years. We first met Ruby & Ray over 40 years ago when they were living in our country, Australia, where they both served as school teachers in our city of Toowoomba.
    We were saddened to hear of Ruby’s passing from this earthly life but we praise God that she is now safe in the arms of Jesus. Our sincerest sympathy and love to you Ray and to Tim & Brenda & families. We would love to have been able to attend Ruby’s Celebration of Life Service but as it is not possible at this time, we want you to know our prayers and love will be with you all. Ruby was such a sweet woman of God and much loved by many. We are so pleased that we had 2 weeks in Pueblo last August and shared some precious times together. I was also able to talk with Ruby by phone from Australia just a couple of days before her Home Calling.
    Lovingly, Pauline & Doug Gray QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA.

  2. The few years we have known Ruby I will always remember her beautiful smile and sweet spirit. She was always an agent of the Lord. Though she no longer walks this earth, her memory will remain.

    Praying that the peace and comfort of the Lord surround you, Ray, Tracy and the granddaughters.

  3. Even though Ruby is not with us now we truly look forward to the moment until we meet again. She is a guiding light…a reflection of Christ likeness; this discribes her love she has for others.

    Ruby, we know you are with our father in heaven…God bless you and Ray.
