Ruth was my Aunt she was my dad’s older sister; and I always had the impression she was looking out for him, trying to steer him into the right path. Which was difficult because he wasn’t one to listen to the advice of others. I remember Ruth as very devoted to my grandmother, and she moved back home to Moose Jaw to care for her the last years of her life.
Ruth was also a loving and devoted mother as well as a powerfully loving and devoted grandmother. I know from my own experience the hole that is left when parents pass from our lives, through death to the spiritual plain. It is sad and painful and is the natural order of life. We all end up orphans eventually. My heartfelt condolences go out to Rachel, Stan and Raissa; you are in my prayers. Ruth lived a long, eventful and interesting life. I know she will rest in peace.
