Sincere condolences to the Smyth family on the passing of Ruth. She looked like a lovely lady who was clearly very respected. I hope you can all find strength to get through one of the most difficult times. But does anyone monitor this anymore or ever even because theres a condolence written a few below mine for the wrong persons death notice.Out of respect at least only accept the correct messages anyway. Getting very annoyed with this site like many others are too by all reports. May Ruth rest in peace 🕊🙏💗

When I told my son of Ruth’s passing he closed his eyes and did a perfect impression of her saying “Now Stephen did you get enough to eat.” Then he smiled and said “What a lovely lady.” I’m sure there are hundreds more of his generation from MCC camps back in the 90s who are thinking the same thing today. Olwyn, Carolyn and Arnold may you find comfort these sad days in knowing that for her the living is only beginning.
— Sean and Ana Mullan

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

To Arnold and all the Smyth family, we remember you at the sad loss of your mother, Ruth. But it is sweetened by the remembrance of that light, which was not hidden, that has effected so many lives in the Christian family.
