I had the pleasure of working with Ruby at Amcom years ago only to find out she lived right up the street from me in Cochranville. She was a joy to work with .
My deepest sympathy to Ruby's family at this sad time.

Mr. Maser (A), Rae and Sherry:
My thoughts and prayers will be with you on Tuesday as you lay you mother, wife and best friend to rest. Her love of God was a great testimony to her life. I can still see her sitting at the kitchen table having bible study and devotions. She always made my visits feel like I was coming home. A trip to visit Rae was not complete without seeing her smiling face. She made a difference in the lives of those she loved the most (A, Rae and Sherry) and in the lives of those around her at church and community. As I was thinking about what to write, I thought about her name...Ruby...a precious gemstone mentioned in the Bible, it's deep-fiery red coloring representing the preciousness of a costly glory such as what Jesus endured for us. I thought about her battle with Alzheimer's and her inner strength throughout her illness. I then stumbled across a poem that I thought I'd share called " A mother's crown" (edited version).
Heaven lit up with a mighty presence,
as the Angels all looked down.
Today the Lord was placing the jewels
Into my mother’s crown.
He held up a golden crown,
as my darling mother looked on.
He said in His gentle voice,
‘I will now explain each one.’
‘The first gem,’ He said, ‘is a Ruby,
and it’s for endurance alone,
for all the nights you waited up
for your children to come home.’
‘For all the nights by their bedside,
you stayed till the fever went down.
For nursing every little wound,
I add this ruby to your crown.

In memory and in celebration of Ruby...loving wife, devoted mother and special friend...someone who made the world a brigher and better place.
