Condolences
Our condolences to Alex, Lynda, Debbie & the Hamilton family on the passing of your precious Mom - And to Eddie. She was such a kind gentle person. She helped my Mom and our family back in our farm days when my Mom was ill and they visited one another when we moved to Mount Forest. When Mom moved to Simcoe they stayed in touch and if Mom came for a holiday Ruth always called her and took her for a drive etc. Lynda and I were friends during our school years but time snuck in and took us different directions so it's been many years since I've seen her. I always enjoyed a good chat with Ruth when I ran into her as has been so aptly said in the many messages here. God Bless her for her kindness on earth - she is now a beautiful angel in heaven and in peace as she looks over all of you.
Sincerely, Marie (Love) and Earl Randall
I was a PSW with Closing The Gap Healthcare that came in to Birmingham Lodge to care for Ruth. She was always happy to see us and appreciated our care. She had a smile that would light up a room. I remember she had a dish of candy on her dresser and she would say " Be sure to take a candy with you". She spoke of Ed often. She will be missed by all. My sincere sympathies to her and Ed's family.
