When I think of Ruthie through her posts here, and meeting her, definitely a . When I think of how much Milo and her mother and sisters must miss her, definitely a .

She brought a lot of kindness into our lives, that's for sure.

Thanksgiving is always in remembrance of you, dear. We'll never forget all the good times we had cooking together.

How spooky, I found some CD's she sent to me of her sons recording and some of her fav music.....

Love peace and guidance, where ever you are sweety xxx

Ah boy.

Ruthie passed on Thanksgiving Day, which is the day after tomorrow here in the States. For me this holiday will ever-more be linked with losing her. What a shining spirit she was. I'm so thankful for her friendship .

Alas, I still can't get through a post without tears...

Ruthie, you were loved!

[minisoopercooper]

and still are

I cannot believe how quickly 2 years has gone - I never met Ruthie, but looking through old threads, and hearing about her, she will never be forgotten

I'll never forget first reading this thread all that time ago - I had not long before signed up, so it was all new to me!!

I believe in the phrase 'The star that shines twice as brightly, lasts for half as long', and this seems to be a perfect case in point.

I can't raise a glass this year so i'll tilt my hat instead xxx Big kiss for ya Ruthie X

This was one of my introductory threads to MINI2 and I felt a mix of admiration, pride, and deep sadness when I read it. I felt loss too...loss that I would never meet Ruthie in person because through all of these messages, I came to know she was an 'angel' here on earth. In my own belief system, I keep memories alive by honoring those who have passed from our midst with attitudes and awareness that does in fact honor them. Ruthie, it seems, was an inspiration by her being--her kindness, generosity, and friendship resonates through this and many other threads. She seems to be the kind of person we really need more of in our topsy-turvy world today. Though I never met her, she is an inspiration to me.

A toast...to Ruthie.

[Spy Car]

I'll join that toast.

Here's to an angel.

I'll join the toast - she helped me out with MINI goodies and seemed a real good egg. I'm sure she was even more wonderful in person.
