    We are so sad to hear that Ruth has gone from us. Lois and I share many happy memories of Ruth, often involving her cooking skills and party organization. We were new to town and I still remember the oysters Rockefeller which we were able to share with Don and Ruth and lots of friends. Lois still has a recipe called Ruth Haines dessert consisting of ice cream sandwich bars, cool whip, straw berry jam, and chocolate bars crushed. Still a favourite with grandchildren

    We send our condolences to the family as you come to grips with a the loss to add to the loss of Don a few years ago.
