My thoughts and condolences are with all of you at this sad time. I too had the pleasure of knowing Ruth for 12 years. I will always remember Ruth for her quick wit and sense of humour. There were many laughs and funny moments shared by many staff with Ruth. I can remember two in particular to share. I was about to tell Ruth a story about how the doctor that delivered me also delivered my nephew. I said to her, "The doctor that delivered me....." and before I could say any more she said, "quit?" Another time I was helping Ruth to get comfortable in bed and rolled her towards me. She jokingly said, "Don't drop me" and I said, "don't worry Ruth, I have been working here for many years and I am drop free" to which she responded, "I don't want to be the fourth." I will remember her laugh, smile, sense of humour and love for chocolate milkshakes. She had great love for her family and would talk about Carson visiting and share a recent picture of him. Ruth will be greatly missed and fondly remembered. May special memories of this wonderful lady help and comfort you in this difficult time.
