Ruth was always the ray of sunshine that brightened the start of every workday. I miss her infectious laughter, her unabashed sense of humour, her quick wit and her office smarts. A great loss to anyone who worked with her, and especially to Jim, Harrison and Ruth's entire family.

I'm so saddened to hear of Ruth's sudden passing. Ruth was a friend to everyone at CHCH. Opening the door to her office for anyone and everyone. She was the best listener. The one with jar full of candies. The one who was always smiling. She was such a kind soul. My condolences to her family at this difficult time.

I would be devastated at the passing of my beautiful youngest sister if I didn't know she trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour and Lord when she was in her early teens. She was wise and trusted God who blessed her with Jim her loving husband and her beautiful son Harrison. Ruth was a loving wife and super mom. God called her home and she is safe and happy for all eternity in Heaven because of the finished work of her Lord Jesus Christ at Calvary. The greatest truth - For God so loved the world (Ruth) that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3vs16. Everlasting life is what God who cannot lie gave Ruth the moment she trusted Jesus died for her sins. We love you Jim and Harrison and support you. Dan & June Harrison XOXO
