Aunty Ruth!! My favourite Aunty and the naughtiest too. Always loving and encouraging us to be ourselves and love each other. You were such a big part of our lives even from such a large distance. You have left a large hole in our family and are much loved and will be dearly missed. Especially your cheek!! You were always vibrant and colourful and everyone was welcome in your home and heart. And you always had the good gossip and there was always laughter around you. Im pleased you’re at peace and tapped mum on the shoulder. Love your favourite niece xx
