“Those we love do not go away;
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near;
So loved, so missed, so very dear.”
My sincere condolences to Ruth's family. Ruth was a friend to my mom and dad (the late Maria and Otto Hartwig). I got to know Ruth through them, and always enjoyed talking to her when we met while walking along the waterfront in Cobourg. I recall her being a joyful woman, always smiling and a good word to say about everyone. She will surely be missed by all who know her. God bless.
My deepest condolences to you Jim and your family and to Ruth's family. I was very sadden to hear of her passing. I will always remember that warm smile of hers, she was and still is a treasure. She will be missed.
