Condolences
Ruth always had a witty comment to anything Charlie said and going to Irish Lake will not be the same when they are not there to visit.
I will miss them dearly

Please accept our deepest condolences at this difficult time.
Ruth was one of a kind, always thoughtful, kind, and lots of fun to be with.
We had many great times with both Ruth and her husband Charlie, sitting on the
porch telling jokes and chatting about life. There was always laughter, a cup of
tea or coffee waiting for you along with warm hospitality.
We will miss Ruth so very much, it will not be the same Irish Lake without her.
Rest In Peace Ruthie
Your Neighbours, Charlotte and Brian
You will always be in our thoughts and hearts xx
