A private Celebration of Life for Ruth will be held at a later date.
Sorry for your loss and your Mom probably would say gently "get on with it" Loved the picture of Ruth. The way she held her mouth made you think. Is she going to say something or had she changed her mind. Always had me guessing.!? If she decided to say what was on her mind it was usually thought out and could make a difference. I worked with Ruth at ATB. It was Ruth who introduce me to ITC. It was Ruth who insisted that I come with her to the Red Deer ITC club. It was ITC that was an important part of our lives. Thanks Ruth and thanks to your family who loving cared for you.
