Dear Doris , and Pauline. Karen too though I don’t know you.
Ruth was a beautiful person who used to walk by our home when she lived on Carling St. not so long ago. She never complained but saw the positive everywhere!
I wish you strength and good memories knowing Ruth has been received by her God and she has peace now and no pain.

A wonderful person, friend, neighbour,and caregiver. Ruth was so thoughtful of others and did many silent deeds to make others lives a little brighter. We were ever grateful of her kindness to Keith. It was always nice to have a visit with her to share conversation and a few good laughs over a cup of tea and a treat. A loving Mother and fine example of a truly generous and gracious lady.

Dear Karen and all of Ruth’s family,
We were so saddened to just now read that Ruth had passed. Your family has had such heartache in the last few months. We had a nice visit with Ruth just recently and were planning to visit with her again next week with a small Christmas gift from the Granton Masons as we have done for several years. We always had such interesting conversations, and she was so proud of her family! Ruth was such a warm and wonderful lady and we know she will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Our sympathy to your family… and may she rest in peace.
