LaVerne and Family:
I have some warm memories of Albert. I recall how impressed I was to see my cousin, 12 years my senior, dressed in his City of Calgary Transit uniform – he looked so sharp and professional to this young teen.
After I left the Ruff Farm for Bible College, I didn’t get in on the family trips to visit our Calgary relatives. Our contacts then were limited to various family functions that we both attended.
I appreciated Albert’s willingness to give the closing prayer for Herman & Mabel Ruff’s 90th Birthday party/Johnson Reunion. The story he told before he prayed was about how he felt when his favorite Aunty Mabel left to marry some stranger. Fortunately, his anger vanished when he found out that his new Uncle Herman wasn’t such a bad guy after all. :-)
My prayer is that you each would know God’s peace and healing as you go through the transitions ahead. – Lorraine
