Ruth Mary Hulbert: 28 October 1922 - 12 August 2010.

A few tributes from friends

It is with the sadness of losing yet another friend that I offer sincere sympathy to all the family on the loss of a wonderful Mother. I remember well every member of the family and have a special place for Heather who was my daughter’s friend and one she missed very much when your Dad was moved to Pastor another Church. You were just a baby at that time of course. Actually your Father was the first one to study with me. I had never heard of, or thought about, the seventh day Sabbath and I was 43 when I was baptised. Vi Buchan

We were very sorry to read of your mother's death. She was blessed in being able to live a long and fruitful life. We will remember her as a very devoted pastor's wife. Whenever we visited Stanborough Park she always made a point of coming over from her seat on the balcony to welcome us. She was also a link with my past, being the daughter of Pastor Dorland, who was one of the minister's in Bristol when I was growing up and who baptised my mother. Cynthia S.

Really sorry to hear about your mum. Mary and Rima are particularly sad as they knew her well and said what a lovely warm-hearted lady she was. Our thoughts are with you as you adjust to the loss of your mother. Jonathan Barrett.

We’re very sorry to hear about your mum. She was a special lady and my parents (Margaret and David James) loved her very much. We will look forward to seeing your mum again in heaven. VBP

I am sure you feel enormously blessed to have had a mother with such lovely personal qualities. When I think of her, I remember her gentle, calm manner. Always softly spoken, with a warm genuine smile and a little sparkle in her eye, she was someone who exuded goodness and Christian grace. What a wonderful example she must have been to so many through the years... May the hope we share of Jesus’ soon return sustain you all until then. AP

We're so sorry for your loss of your lovely, sweet mother. NBD

Will miss seeing her sitting in church with Rosemarie. RS

We wish to express our deepest sympathies and sincere condolences to you and family at this time of bereavement. No words of ours can mitigate the keen sense of loss that you now feel. Nevertheless, may the bright hope of the resurrection be of great consolation and encouragement to you as you pass through this season of sorrow and pain. And, besides all else, I'm sure you have many precious memories of Mum that will enable you to celebrate the fact that hers was a life well lived. HW

There's never anything sensible to say on such occasions so I shall say nowt but you and yours are in our prayers. Steve

I am reminded that this is not our home and we are just a passing through. Please know that as you go through this difficult time in your family that you are prayed for here in Ireland. May you be strengthened and empowered to keep your eyes on the prize that is coming soooooooon. Jeff

I am just sending you a line to say you are in my prayers at this time of grief. I pray that the Lord will be your anchor and your comfort. As you celebrate the life of your mother , the emptiness that her absence normally brings may they be filled with God's never ending love. It is a difficult time but God be with you and your family.

Your Mum was one of those ladies that David Marshall refers to as an "Golden Oldie". Being an Adventist in her early years it was hard to be different and go against the flow of "normal" Christians. With your Dad being in ministry she ably lived out her faith. HH

Hang in there my friend...You will soon be hugging your Mom again. Jesus is coming soon and very soon. Be sad but celebrate the fact that she brought you into the world, she had a long life, she had kids who loved her, she looks sweet and kind in the photo you posted. EK

Sincere condolences on the loss of your mum; she was a lovely, cheerful lady who never failed to say hello and have a chat with me. AV

I am SO sorry to hear about your loss! She must have been a very special lady, because you guys are so nice! May God be with you in this hard time! SM
