Sharon, Kevin & Family,
Thinking of you all today as you say an earthly farewell to your mother and grandmother. Ruby was a pleasure to know over these past 12 years. We always enjoyed chatting about our Buchans connection. She was a faithful member of Elim and Joy Fellowship until mobility issues prevented her from attending. May the God of all comfort strengthen you all today and in the days to come.
Sharon, Kevin, Jamie Tony and families, we send our condolences, prayers and thoughts on the passing of a wonderful mother and grand mother. She was an Elim stalwart for many years, a long life well lived. May God’s peace be yours today and always.
Sharon, Kevin and family, my heart was saddened, when I heard about the passing of your mother. I, pray these next few difficult days, the lord and his, angles will give you comfort and peace, for now and forever more. Love Kara and Frances.
Sharon, Kevin and family,
I can remember Mrs. Matterface from Elim on Casey Street. She also taught my sister Doreen in Sunday school. Doreen spoke highly of her.
She was indeed a lovely lady, soft spoken and wise.
We extend our condolences to Sharon and Kevin in particular. As mentioned Mrs. .Materface enjoyed both Sharon and Kevin playing the piano and organ also to the delight of many others.. Treasure the memories.

Oh we were so saddened to hear that Ruby will no longer be with us. She was such a darling. My mother, Georgina and I would love to sit with at St Pats. Our condolences to all her family.
To Sharon and family,
Sincere condolences on the passing of your mom. I remember fondly the many meals and fellowship we shared at her house. Will always remember her.
Sharon and Family
Sorry to hear of your mom’s passing… but she certainly lived a long and full life.. for which you must be thankful.
We will always remember the friendly and supportive attitude of both your mom and dad when we first came to Elim.
We extend our sincere condolences and may you find comfort in the many pleasant memories of your family’s past
God Bless
I’m sorry to hear that Ruby passed away on Christmas Day… I met Ruby at St. Pat’s while visiting my brother. I will miss seeing this gentle woman in the lounge area. May Ruby rest in peace.
Sincere condolences on the passing of aunt Ruby, whenever mom and dad would come to town, we always visited her and uncle Lou, there was always a cup of coffee, tea and of course a slice of pie. We continued to visit after uncle Lou passed away, it was always a pleasure to see her smile.
Rest In Peace, you are now reunited.
To Sharon, Kevin, Jamie, Tony and family.
We are sending sincere condolences to all the family on the passing of Ruby, a mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and other family names.
Ruby enjoyed being a choir member at Elim and was faithful to the Old, Old Story broadcast taping. She was also faithful to Elim’s senior’s group, Joy Fellowship until she moved to a retirement home.
May you be comforted now and always with God’s strength, peace and love knowing that she lived her life to be pleasing to God. Praying for all at this time of bereavement.

We are saddened for you on the passing of your mother/grandmother. We fondly remember her during our time in St. John’s. She was such a faithful member of Elim and so supportive of the ministry there. Her pride and joy was to see her family in church and so much involved in the music. She actually would beam with delight when Kevin played the piano.
She was loved by her friends there too, most of whom have gone on before her. It is likely to be a blast when the folks of Elim get together in worship around the throne.
The Blessed Hope assures us of a wonderful reunion, when Jesus returns for His redeemed church..
May the Comforter come along side of you and give you peace and strength in the days ahead.. We are praying for you all.
Love
Gloria and Fred Stacey
