I had the pleasure of playing golf at Lake Carroll with Luba and Steve. She was a joy to play golf with and I am saddened by her passing. The ball flies straight over emerald green fairways in heaven. Until we meet again on those heavenly links.

It was a sad day on Sunday when we heard Luba had passed. She was such a joy, so easy to be with. Always a smile on her face, cheerful and loving. She will be missed by everyone who has had the pleasure of knowing her. She surely has a special place in heaven, and I am sure she will be looking over all of her family. All of your memories of times you shared will keep her with you all throughout your life. She will always be with you in spirit and looking over all of you (family) from above. God bless you all during this difficult time.
