Remembering Ruth on her birthday. She was a wonderful friend who taught me so much by her examples of kindness, generosity, strength, wisdom, humour and openness.
Relationships with her family were important to Ruth and it was because of Ruth that the relationship with my mother was restored.
I will be forever grateful for the privilege of having Ruth in my life.
Miss you my friend.

To Ruth's Family,
We have great memories of Ruth and the wonderful times we visited her as her Pastor and friend. We had the joy of visiting her in March this year at Karingal and shared those memories. At her home in Wynyard, we weeded the garden, spraying the weeds,laughing together, crying together, praying together, sharing together. She loved you all and would often talk about you all.
Now she is rejoicing with her Lord in Heaven.
God bless you all
Warm Christian Love

Dearest Ruth,
I had the pleasure of meeting you and getting to know you during my time at karingal. It was known that you and i were buddies and we looked out for each other. I am forever grateful for your friendship and kindness. I missed our chats each morning when i went off to have my daughter Charlotte and was so pleased that you were able to meet her, i still have your card and her beanie you sent to her when she arrived. I was so saddened to hear you grew your wings, yet i am also so glad you are at peace. May you be surrounded by all your loved ones who were up there waiting for your arrival. All my love

Dear Mum. You were always a wonderful mother to me and Nana to Dean (dec) and Jamie.

Now you are with in your family in heaven and GOD. Dean will be so happy you are now with him. He has been waiting for you for 23 years.

I am relieved you are no longer suffering with congested lungs now you can breath in the presence of God.

As Jamie wrote on learning you had passed away. "I will remember Nana for being a nice lady who was proud and wanted the best for her family.

I have many happy memories of my Mother you will live in my heart forever.
Love you Diannexx

I will miss everything about you Mum. Your sharp wit and wicked sense of humour. Stories of your youth and your families antics. Sayings passed down to you from your father and on to us.. Telling you to slow down because you walked to fast for me. Slipping now and then by calling me "Baby" and me 65 yrs old. But most of all knowing how the one constant thing in life was your love. Rest now and breath easy until we meet again, love you always Yvonne x
