  5. I’m so sad to hear that Ruth has passed. My heartfelt condolences to Ruth’s family. She was one of the sweetest, most gentle souls I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. She was always happy to see me, even though it was for a blood test, and always told me she loved me as she was leaving. She will be sadly missed. Sleep peacefully Ruth. Much love

  6. Rest easy now, Gran Nan. 🤍
    You’ve done such an amazing job creating this beautiful family, and I hope you’re finally at peace. I hope heaven is as beautiful as everyone imagines it to be, and that you’re somewhere peaceful, surrounded by love, happiness and light. I hope you’re no longer hurting and that you can finally rest knowing just how many people love you and how much you meant to all of us.
    I still can’t believe I have to say goodbye to you. It doesn’t feel real knowing that I won’t get to see you, hear your voice, hold your hand or sit beside you again. There are so many things I wish I could say to you and so many more memories I wish we could have made.
    I love you more than words can explain you’ll forever be missed ❤️
