RUTH ISABELLA LOUISE MOORE

Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

• Memorial for my Friend: Ruth Moore Tonight I received the sad news that Ruth passed away. I was shocked and took it very hard to accept. There are recollections of events and good times with her; her voice, her smile, and my tears were difficult to control. I met her in 1998, she called me, and since then she became my best friend and teacher. I remember she wrote a story on a card, “Veronica Visits Veterans Hospitals”, and we read it together many times. She was a very good teacher for many years before she retired. She was a cheerful and nature enjoying person. She drove us to most of the parks in Winnipeg and we saw the Royal Winnipeg Ballet at Assiniboine Park. We went to see the English Garden and polar bears there; we went to Folklorama festival many times and we enjoyed the dances and food. I already miss those wonderful times because her she made our lives much more interesting and meaningful. She was a very talented and knowledgeable person, who knew how to sculpture and paint. She wrote a book “ A Special Courage” and sent it to me. It was based on her true life story about a figure skating girl dreaming to be a world champion. My family were very interested to read her story. She also was a very warm-hearted person who helped so many people, and she went to the hospital to comfort so many friends and people. She gave rides to so many people for shopping or to the airport for whatever they needed. I remember when my husband finished gall bladder surgery at hospital, Ruth drove him home and when my husband went to Hong Kong, she gave to him a ride to the airport. She did a lot of good things for friends and never demanded anything in return. From her I saw a true Christian. I know she loved her husband, her son, daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren very deeply. She was very proud of them and she cared about them from the bottom of her heart. She cared about her friends, their family and their life. When I was depressed, I called her and she would enlighten me on the phone. We would talk for a few hours. She always sent us beautiful Christmas cards and letters and we kept in touch. Her cards were filled with greetings and love. My family and I are still in grief over this loss but I know each of our tears is a note of love rising to the heavens for Ruth. Dear Ruth, although you left your family and friends, you will always live in our hearts. We will always miss you. - Posted by: Hong Meng (Best Friend) on: Jan 20, 2014

• May you know that you are in my heart and prayers. It is the hole that is left from her absence that causes the sorrow. Let her love for you and your love for her fill that hole with joyous memories. God Bless you all at this time. - Posted by: Darcy Monchamp () on: Jan 14, 2014
