Nelson and family-
We met during the good times at Transit when we both worked the night shift. You being a bit more senior than me, got to retire and in time move over the malahat. I recall meeting Ruth at the annual Safety Dinners but to be honest, these functions were and still are a blur. Way too many speeches and not enough socializing
Am saddened by your loss. Take care

My sincere condolences to the family. I will cherish my memories that I have of Ruth. Her love for her family was so amazing. She was my friend for many years and she is missed by many. I know that she is surrounded by our loved ones that had already made their way ahead of her. Until we meet again my friend until we meet again. Rest easy Momma Bear xox
