I am sad to hear of Ruth's passing. She and her husband Stu were friends of my parents, Bob and Margaret Allore of Toronto and Belleville. Stu was my mother's physician in Toronto and delivered me at St. Michaels oh so many years ago. Her passing marks a further end to the Toronto days, to the memories and stories which were told during their visits when my father and Stu practiced at St Michaels.

Dear Kate and family, Sally, and many close friends of Ruth -
I send my deepest sympathies on the passing of the beautifully spirited Ruth. I know, from time spent with Kate and Sally, that she was deeply loved, admired for her strength and steadfastness, and that she leaves an honored legacy for her family in every way.
Thinking of you in her 102nd year --

Ruth was kind, gracious, and beautiful in every way -- a person who leaves wonderful memories behind. All who knew her will remember her with great fondness. You have chosen a nice picture -- and she was still lovely in 2016, and bright as could be.
