RUBY EIDSE

Our beloved little daughter Ruby was born in Steinbach, Manitoba on July 8, 1950. But the One who long ago said, “Suffer little children to come unto me," has also called our little Ruby to be with Him in the beautiful mansions above.

Since Ruby never was strong physically, much love and care was expended on her. Medical aid was sought at different times but was of no avail. For a time it seemed as though she was improving, but then she passed away suddenly on July 12, 1951 at the age of one year and four days, her mother being in the hospital and her father not at home at that time.

She leaves to mourn her early departure her parents, and two sisters, Sharon, five, and Sylvia, two. Twin sisters preceded her in death almost exactly three years ago.

Though we sorrow over the passing of our daughter, we have full assurance that she is sweetly resting in the arms of Jesus. — The Parents, Aaron and Gladys Eidse.
