It was with great sadness that I received the news that Ruth passed away. Heart felt condolences to her family and friends. I met Ruth many years ago through my friend Rose, a long time resident of Colbourne. Whether you were an old friend or a new acquaintance I think all were treated the same, with a welcoming warm smile and acceptance. Coming in from St. Catharines, I didn't see her often but always inquired how "Ruth was doing". The beautiful bright light is now shining from above. RIP Miss Ruth
