Today I lost the love of my life, Barbara Ann Ruelas. She was born Oct. 26, 1949.

Barbara got lung cancer 12 years ago and fought through it with several different types of treatments.

Again in 2007 she got colon cancer and after several months of chemo and radiation, she pulled through. She was a tough one for sure.

Last March it came back and this time it overtook her only after nine months of chemo.

After the past week in St. Helena Hospital Clear Lake, they let hospice bring her home. Got a bed for the front room and all the love they offer.

Barbara got her last wish to spend some time with her puppies in her beautiful home.

Last night Jesus took Barbara home. All she wanted when I met her was a home of her own for her puppies to grow old and pass away in, and it all came to pass. Bless you Barbara.

She leaves a son, Jimmy Gray, his wife, and grandchildren Malory and Mike; and a daughter, Shelly, who lives in Kentucky. She also leaves Eric “Bro Zeke” Eberhardt, Lacy and Elvis, the family.

Her grandson Jesse will be heartbroken, but nobody will miss Barbara like I do, forever. Seven years wasn’t enough honey, I’ll see you later.

All my love,

Zeke
