Dear Shirley, Bob, Moe, Susan and families:
Brent and I send our heartfelt condolences.
Aunt Ruth was a lovely lady and a special Aunt. She always made me feel welcome and she had a great ability to induce laughter. I will always remember her with love and fond memories.
Shirley, Bob, Moe and Susan:
So very sorry to hear of Aunt Ruth’s passing. She was a great lady and I will always remember her laugh. When I was taking my mechanic apprentice ship I used to go to her place for lunch sometimes and she always had a bowel of soup ready for me. We always had a good chat and it would always lighten up my day. Sending my thoughts and prayers.
Very sorry to hear that Aunt Ruth has passed. I’ll always remember her as a kind person with a great sense of humour. My sympathy to the family.
Dear Shirley, Bobby, Moe & Susan:

Dearest Susan, Bobby(Janice), Shirley, Moe and Gang. Wishing you comfort as you tell her stories and remember how much she loved you. Dad, Linda and I LOVED her turkey sandwiches and her crazy Halloween costumes back in the day. Rest well God Mom Aunt Ruth. We love you.
When I think of you I can only smile remembering all the fun we had playing cards at your place whenever I got to sleep over, or later on, having lunch when I was working around the corner from you. Your laughter was contagious! Love you, Aunt Ruth
Will always have our memories, and will always carry you in my heart Grandma xo 💕
