MARY ISABELLE RUDDERHAM
We, the family of the late Mary Isabelle Rudderham wish to express our deepest gratitude to all our relatives and friends who were so kind to us during the passing of our mother. Thank you to everyone who brought food to our homes, sent mass and sympathy cards as well as floral arrangements, memorials and donations to Palliative Care and Friends of MacGillivray Guest Home. A special thank you to all our relatives and friends who traveled from Halifax and Ontario to be with us. To all the staff of MacGillivray Guest Home, you went above and beyond in your care, respect and love for mom during the past four years but especially the past eight months, for this we will be eternally grateful. Mom's extended family on CND 2, made her past four years a happy time and for this we are exceptionally thankful. Sincere thanks to Father Rankin for being mom's confidant and for being with her and us during her final days. To Sister Hazel and Sister Stella for all of their compassion and support. To Bob Rudderham (nephew) for his amazing singing voice and to Anita Rose, Maureen MacLean and Donna Hicks (all nieces) for their readings at the funeral, you all embodied the spirit of family and we thank you. We are deeply appreciative to Father D. Murphy, the choir and organist at Holy Rosary Church for the beautiful service and hymn arrangements. To Rollie MacInnis (nephew) for his eulogy at the hall, you personified mom's life and brought a smile to everyone's face. To the women of WINS, Edwardsville for the lovely lunch after the service and finally to Sydney Memorial Chapel, especially Kollin Weatherbee and staff for all you did for us and for making this time as comforting as possible. To everyone we may have forgotten to mention, we express our deepest thanks for your support, kindness and presence.
Paul, Brenda, Arnie & Greg Rudderham & Famililes
