Murray, Ann and family. So sorry for the loss of your mother/grandmother. Glad that you were able to be there with her.
Dear Carol and family, My deepest sympathies to you and your family on the passing of your dear sweet mother. Wishing her a beautiful journey to her resting place in heaven. Much Love, Arlene
Dear Carol,
My thoughts are with you and your family as you go through this difficult time.
We send our sympathy to the Keys children & families. We have many fond memories of Gordon & Ruth when they were our neighbours operating the General Store at Aberarder.
It was a pleasure to know Ruth thru the Parkwood Exercise class. My condolences on behalf of the volunteers, staff and participants.
Murray,Ann and family
Our sincere condolences to your family on hearing of the passing of your mother.
My sympathies to the family for the passing of your mother.
There’s a very dignified party happening in Heaven.
They’re welcoming a spectacular new angel.
We come into life so beautifully pure, gentle, kind and loving, but few people are able to live, and leave this life, still gentle, kind and loving.
Ruth Keys accomplished that.
She’s an inspiring teacher and example for all. And as we miss her, she’s our teacher still.
I have so many warm memories of your mom, Christmas, the cottage, my Dad & cherry pits. Your mom was my mom’s dearest friend. My daughter Julia absolutely loved visiting your mom and hearing stories of the early days on the farm. My deepest condolences.
