Dear Peter, Tom, Anthony and Frances,
My prayers are with you all at this difficult time. I have such wonderful memories of Aunt Ruth. It was always such a joyful event whenever she and your dad - sometimes with all of you - visited the Roney's in Ottawa. Please accept my sincerest condolences.

Dear Peter, Tom, Anthony and Frances: My thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this sad time. I have many fond memories of your mother as a kind sweet Aunt who always reminded me that I was her namesake...she made me feel special. Fondly, Ruth Burke (nee Dagenais)

Dear Frances, May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I remember a great story you once told me about you and your mom....you were about to miss getting your teacher's certificate because one assignment was missing. With a laid back attitude and a drink in your hand, you wrote out the paper in the backyard sunshine passing your mom the pages so she could type them out for you. I may not be accurate with all the details, but it is a story I never forgot. I remembered it because it is a story that reminds me about how mothers always support and love their children... no matter what! Moms are always there, ready to lend a hand and guide us through life. I hope you have many more memories like this one which will help to make you smile and ease your pain. Love, Claudia
