??????. Our beautiful Aunty Ruth has traveled on, through her dreams, to be with her heavenly father and the love of her life , Uncle Gord. I know that her sisters, brother, mom & dad and many other family and friends will be there to share in this celebration. She wanted you all to know that her family meant so much to her" more than you will ever know!" she repeated this again and again over the past three weeks. So blessed to have spent time with her, reminiscing about the good days and having some giggles.

We are very sad to hear of Auntie Ruth's death. On reflection I recall so many fun moments at the Eau Claire house. She gave me many a curly perm and Debbie we had a few great birthdays together. Linda and Jim
