George and I knew Ruth was fading but it was still a shock to hear of her passing. The Ruth we remember was a woman of vitality, generosity and a zest for life. We'll always remember the essence of Ruth's character. She'll be remembered with a great deal of love, and her memory will definitely be a blessing. May she become a another star in the heavens.

Dear Bill, Deana & George, Daniel & Jennifer & Family, Some people don't realize how special they are - how thoughtful they are without thinking about it - always right there when you call - always ready to share, not expecting a thing in return, yet always seemed richer for giving. Ruthie was one of those "very special" people, who was beautiful inside & out, with a heart of gold. I feel so blessed to have had her in my life. I will forever cherish our special friendship & the many wonderful times we spent together. May her memory be forever a blessing & may the beautiful memories you shared together, give you comfort & strength in the days ahead. Rest in peace my beautiful friend - you will always be in my heart!! Wishing you all long life & no more sorrows... With our deepest sympathy & love, Lynn & David

Let her memory be a blessing to her family and may she rise high in the kingdom of Heaven. Rest well, Ruthy in the knowledge that Deana and Daniel will carry on living well from what they learned from yourself and Bill.

Dawn and I as well as our immediate family regret and mourn the passing of Ruth. Dawn in particular often took care of Bill when he was but a little boy. So many years have passed since those early days but we remember them with a sense of pleasure when we see that all the years were more than kind to us all. May the family be comforted in memories of past times.

I fondly remember our friendship and growing up years in Halifax, our migration to Toronto, and our early life with family. Ruth had a heart of gold.

Dear Bill & Family, I was shocked to learn of Ruth's passing. I was not even aware that she was ill. Ruth always had such a bubbly personality, which is how I will remember her. I feel terrible that I hadn't been in contact with her since before Covid. Time and life sometimes get in the away of our good intentions. May you treasure all the memories and suffer no other sorrows. Sorry I could not attend in person, as I am now living in New Brunswick. However, I did watch the live stream. Stay strong and I will keep your family in my thoughts.
