Dear Hogan and Weido families – You are on my mind and in my heart – Ruth and her family were a special part of the Zurich community – there are many treasured memories of those days. Ruth and I touched base and shared our new mother experiences – when our Jacqui and Maryann were babies. Joe was teaching in Essex county and we lived in Chatham -in the early 60’s. It was wonderful to contact years later – when Maryann and her husband and children – were a special part of our school system and parish community in Goderich. It was always special to see Ruth and Joe – we never loose the connections of our youth. She was a treasure – with a loving husband , girls and family. In our sadness – we are blessed that she was part of our lives. Sincerely – Cecelia Denomme

Dear Joe and family,
I just learned of Ruth’s passing, and I wanted to express my deepest sympathy.
Ruth was a big part of my childhood as she was a big part of my family’s restaurant. She was dedicated and loyal to my parents for so many years, and for that and so many other reasons, I genuinely adored her. Though she hasn’t been there for a long time, I can still picture her warm smile, and hear her laugh when I am home.
May you find comfort in your happy memories, and know that she is at peace.
Sincerely,
Mae Ling
