A very Happy day with my Mum & Dad I thank you for all your LOVE

Christine

My deepest sympathy to Christine, Diana, David, Michael, Aunty Dawn and Mum (Suzette). My fond memories of Aunty Ruth are that she consistently radiated joy, warmth, love, hope and an unconditional acceptance of those around her. She was a wonderful person to be around and we all loved her laugh. Her departure is a Great loss. She will be profoundly missed and fondly remembered.

I was so sad to read of Ruth's passing. I spent a lot of time with Ruth while supporting Diana. She always appreciated the support I gave Diana and always made me welcome when I visited her home. My thoughts are with you Diana, David & Michael. Suzanne May-Gurnick
