Hi Jack and family - I have such fond memories of your mom - in fact - each day I walk out my back door I think of her as I look at my little lighthouses she made for my screens and wall! I was very saddened when mom told me today. Both your mom and dad just always knew how to make a person laugh! Take care and give your dad a big hug!

(Uncle) Jake (Jack), Wendy, Karen, Pam, Darcie, Connie, Barb and Doug; I was very saddened to hear of (Auntie) Ruth passing away. I have such VERY fond memories of you all in Medicine Hat and visiting / staying over at your home in Lethbridge. Still to this day I refer to your mom and dad as 'uncle' Jake and "auntie" Ruth. I can still hear both your mom, and you (uncle) Jake, your voices. Please know I am thinking of you all and holding you close to my heart. My deepest condolences! Kim

I am so sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. She was such a wonderful lady! We, the three musketeers, had so much fun together. Ruth, Pat Nagy and myself. Ruth and I talked regularly on the phone to touch base. I will miss those calls terribly.
