9. Dear Ruth

   You were a wonderful, energetic and passionate colleague and leader in the community.

   You achieved so much for those you fought so hard for, and provided vital support too many in their times of need.

   You are sorely missed.

11. Ruth taught me how to be real. She stomped into our student support office in Blundstone boots and gave me the idea that you dress for the kids not the profession. She didn’t like psychologists much back then but I think I helped ease her unease. A bit of alcohol involved there! Always a delight and entertaining and strong on the stuff that matters. A warrior of a woman. Such a loss to our world. Go lightly Ruth on the winds And over the land snd seas. Love to Ret and Ruth’s family Xx

19. Ah Ruth, you made travelling the Gibb River Road a delight! Laughs, tents, talk, wine and more laughs. I think about that trip so often, always with your smiling face and wild enthusiasm in every memory.
    Now you are travelling in the great beyond and missed by all down here.
