Dear Morley, Sadie and Gabe. I am so sorry to hear of Ruth’s passing. She was THE most positive woman I will ever meet. Such a fighter. And how she fought with such grace and fierce determination. She is my inspiration as a wife and mother and we are better people for having had her in our lives. I’m sorry we are just finding out now. Our hugs and prayers are with all of you.

I was so saddened to hear of Ruth’s passing. She had a heart as big as the universe, and was a rock for me during my own illness, so selfless, kind and funny. She was one of a kind and I feel extremely blessed to have known her.

I am so sorry to hear about Ruth’s passing. I knew her in high school and we had many musical conversations. Our paths would occasionally cross over the years before getting a chance to work with her at Federated Co-operatives. She was truly a ray of sunshine to your day and she will be sorely missed.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Ruth was a wonderful person to work with. She was so positive, enthusiastic and motivating. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was so saddened to hear of Ruth’s passing. She and I worked closely together when she first joined HR at the City. She was a wonderful colleague and always had such positive energy that she was a delight to be around. More than anything, she loved her family and she will be greatly missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you remember and cherish her life.

Morley, Sadie and Gabriel, please accept our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your Dear Wife and Mother.

After the tears have dried and the goodbyes have been said, all we have to hold onto are the happy memories that we’ve shared with Ruth, this is what keeps them alive in our hearts and in our minds, and they will continue to live on, through us.

God Bless You Ruth,

With Love

My deepest sympathy to you Morley, Sadie and Gabriel on the loss of your precious wife and mother. Ruth was a wonderful person. I had the pleasure of getting to know her well just before she went on her leave through our many conversations. Her energy and smile were infectious. She shared many wonderful stories about her life and the three of you and in turn she listened attentively to my stories of my hubby and boys. She truly loved you all and was very proud. It was a pleasure having known Ruth and I am deeply saddened by her passing.

Vanessa Daniel-Fernando, Colleague, City of Calgary

Morley and family,

I am so sorry to hear of Ruth’s passing. My condolences to you all. Ruth was such a ray of light and an inspiration to those she came in contact with. Rest in peace Ruth.

Dear Morley, Sadie and Gabriel, please accept our sincere condolences. Our hearts are saddened with the passing of such a very special person. Ruth’s smile and outlook on the day would always lift your own spirits.

Love from the Reddy Family, David, Suzanne, Kimberley, Patrick and Christopher.

I was lucky enough to work with Ruth at the City.

It was easy to work with Ruth because she was so positive and always happy to help. She cared about people, and that came through in her work.

She was such a lovely person, and I looked forward to our chats. I loved hearing stories about her kids because she loved to talk about them. She shared in my excitement when I was expecting my first and shared many tidbits about her son and daughter. Her love and pride for you was obvious.

My thoughts have been of Ruth and her family since I heard the news and I am so very sorry for your loss.

Dear Morley and family,

Thinking of you all during this difficult time. I haven’t seen or spoken to Ruth in ages, however I remember her smile & laughter. She was a big ray of light with loads of positive energy. I feel very lucky to have met her. Bless you all.

Rest in Peace Ruth.

Morley, Sadie and Gabriel,

I was so saddened to hear of Ruth’s passing. She was taken from us way too early. I was so fortunate to have her as part of one of my teams when I was in HR and I wish I had a fraction of her drive, energy and zest for life. Ruth was also a great resource to me personally as my son was a year younger than Sadie and she also had ideas and suggestions on courses, programs and activities for me to consider. Our deepest condolences are with you.

David, Sherri and Nick

Morley, Sadie and Gabriel,

Ruth meant the world to me. We shared so many great times together as colleagues and friends at the City of Calgary. She demonstrated over and over again what it meant to be a true HR professional. I never worried when Ruth was involved in whatever the issue was that we were dealing with. She taught me so much about being a sunny “Yellow” personality full of positive energy.

We all knew that you were her world and inspiration as she was our inspiration. Thank you for sharing her.

I am so sorry that I will not be able to join you on the 22nd in remembering Ruth. I will be on the other side of the country in Newfoundland but you can rest assured that my heart will be full thinking of Ruth and you.

My deepest condolences.

Joan Kennedy

Morley, Sadie and Gabriel There is no way I can know your pain. I certainly don’t need to tell you what a wonderful wife, mother and woman she was. Her desire to live was solely to be with you. She didn’t feel anything she did was too difficult or too much for her to do because she loved you (and knew how much she was loved by her) I first met her at City Hall when we both worked in HR and immediately I saw her strength and love for humanity. The past few years she spent quiet hours with me affirming her faith and determining she would be well as long as possible. You saw that strength. She said once “I have my strength because I know I am a miracle. Her belief in God and prayer and your love was what sustained her.” You are a wonderful family.

‘What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us.’

Helen Keller.

A beautiful spirit, Ruth. God bless her and everyone she loved and touched with her bright shining energy and presence. A rare bird, singing an inspiring song. Thank you Ruth for impacting us with your gracious and joyful ways. You will live on forever.

Sending our love to each of you.

The Burdett Family
