Melbourne Mum is now an Angel
This is Melbmum's good friend here. I just wanted to let you all know that Ruth passed away on June 30th 2008. She had a very bad two weeks prior to this date - lost sight in her eyes and then gradually lost all balance and slipped into a coma.
She will be greatly missed by everyone that knew her. At her funeral there were well over 600 people - so that is testament to how much she affected people in very positive ways.
I have been trying to remember what BC boards she posted on so that I could come and let you all know. If you would like to send any personal messages to her husband and boys (aged 7 and 9) I will gladly pass them on to them.
My email address is downunderjane@gmail.com
I too met Ruth on my message boards (I have 3 that I run) back in 2005 and she became such a dear and close friend over that time. Her sense of humour and board savvy was such a refreshing change!
Never a day went by that I wasn't roflmao at her comments.
I loved her very much, still do. She will always hold a very special place in my heart.
I wish you all the very best in your own journeys and I am so very glad I was able to find you all and let you know. I have been meaning to find this board since she passed over as I knew she spent a lot of time on the BC forums and I knew you would all be wondering what had happened.
Take care,
Jane

Thank you for letting us know, Jane. Another young mother taken by this awful disease. I'm heartbroken for her family and friends. I didn't know Ruth on here, but I just now read her posts. You can see what a caring and sweet person she was. What a tribute that over 600 people attended her funeral. That speaks volumes and I'm sure was a comfort to those who loved her.
What a great friend you are to try to find the boards she posted on. Thank you, again.
