To John and Ruth's family, I have just found this obit while searching for a way to contact Ruth. My husband and I were friends with Ruth and John while we all lived in Dubai. Ruth and I became friends but lost contact after Max and I moved back to Texas. Ruth and I shopped together for our first grandchildren - Nova born in Oct 2008 and my Jadyn born in Jan 2009. Ruth and I also rode on the Dubai trains on opening day on 09-09-09. I would love for John or Georgina to contact me [email protected] I have pictures in my shutterfly that I would be happy to share. Please email me. I am so sorry for her death. I ask this site to publish my email address. Thanks, Linda

Dear John and family: condolences and aroha. Thinking of Ruthie with much affection: an inspiring teacher, mentor and friend to many far and wide. Thinking of dear sister Jenny in your loss. Ruthie was a stalwart in relief teaching at Westlake Girls High School and we were all very grateful for her unflinching support, friendship and organisational skills. Much love and sympathy to all xxx

To John, Rona, Jenny and Richard: we were saddened to hear of Ruth's death. So many happy memories of years gone by, her wedding to you John, and little things like her happy nature, her successful career and in my case, being shown how to knit properly! We all send our love, Beverley Short, Nona Short, Keren Brooking and Andrew Short.
