Dear Bill, Peggy, Mary Jo and Family. So sorry to hear of Ruth’s passing. I spoke to her a few times over the last number of years when she and Mom were talking on the phone. So wonderful to have lifelong friendships. I certainly remember those Bridge Club parties…your Mom loved to laugh! They sure did have a great time! All the best to everyone as you remember happy moments together.
Sincerely,
Cheryl
My sympathy to the family. Mrs Knapp was one of my favourite lecturers at Centralia College. Many fond memories.
To Ruth’s Family –
Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mom – such a lovely woman! We often worked together at Riverside Church. I was back-up organist for your Dad at A. M. George. We all attended many social functions together. My caring thoughts are with you. Norma Clare
Dear Bill, and all your family.
I know from our many conversations that your mother was an extraordinary woman and will have left you with many memories to cherish. As they say in the UK, she had a good innings.
We’re so sorry for your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.
Love,
Désirée & Paul McCaulsky
