Caroline Grace Ruple

Our most precious angel, Caroline Grace, went to be with the Lord yesterday. She was such a strong little girl, with so much feistiness (as the nurses kept telling us), but unfortunately just had too much to overcome.
We are saddened beyond words, and honestly just praying for the Holy Spirit to intercede for us at this time. One thing we do know, though, is that our sweet baby girl is dancing in Heaven. She is not facing any of the major deficits or health problems that she would have had to face on this earth. She is dancing with the angels. We know that we will see her again one day, and in this we are finding true comfort.
We will be having a graveside service and burial for family in Lockhart, TX on Tuesday morning at 11am, and then will be having a celebration of this sweet little life at our church, First Baptist Bryan, on Tuesday evening at 6:30pm.
Thank you so much for all of the prayers and support shown to us during this very difficult time. We have been overwhelmed with the empathy and love we have received, and will be forever grateful. Please continue to pray for us in the days ahead.

  2. It amazes me how such a short little life can impact so many for the Lord... As you are well aware an unbelievable number of people have been united in prayer for Caroline, and your loving confidence in God serves as an example of true and heartfelt faith. Thank you for sharing Caroline and your heart with us all.
    Love,
