THE RECORD, Kitchener, Ontario - Oct. 31, 2007
________________
KROPF (Schlegel), Ruth - The pearly gates were opened, a gentle voice said "Come"; and with farewells left unspoken, she gently entered home. One year ago, October 30, Mom/ Grandma died as she lived, surrounded by her family. We miss her physical presence but deeply value the many life lessons she taught us. Her helping hand was always first to render any aid she could. Her voice was always raised in praise, her words were wise and good. We mourn for her in silence; no eyes can see us weep, but many a silent tear is shed while others are asleep. Deep in our hearts you'll always stay, loved and remembered every day, Lorne, Dale and Grace, Gloria and Liw, Bruce and Cindy, Kevin and Carolyn, Larry and Tracey and families
