    So sorry to hear about Ruth passing. Our deepest sympathies to the family. Ruth was such a sweet and kind lady. I will never forget how much Norm and Ruth loved to fish. I never forgot the time my dad, grandpa, uncle and I traveled to Canada on a fishing trip along with Norm and Ruth. They would go out on the lake in the morning and stay out fishing all day. Ruth is in heaven with Norm now and I’m sure they are fishing together again.

    Our deepest sympathy to the Sainsbury family. Ruth and Norman were my family’s neighbors here in Dellwood. Through the years, they watched us grow, marry, and have children of our own. Ruth and Norm gave us our very 1st snowmobile rides in the 1970’s, picked strawberries every summer, and shared corn on the cob with us city kids! Ruth is now in heaven with Normie and we can all say….they made a lasting impression in this life! Prayers to the family
