I have loved Mrs. Ruth McAuliff from the first time we met back in 1988. She welcomed me into her home with warmness, pride, and grace which was what she was all about. Her entire family embraced me with warmth.
She continued to treat me with such deep respect which I was so privileged to have. She exuded kindness, love, and always liked to smile and laugh. I am deeply saddened by her loss and truly will miss her loving heart.
God bless her on her new journey. May she fly with the angels above!
All my love, courage, strength, and prayers be with my dearest Jimmy, Norma, Mike, Mary, and the entire family.
Ferial and family xoxo

The Schingh and the McAuliff family's go back a long way to Cold Lake Alberta. It was so nice for our parents to re-connect when we were stationed back in Ottawa and moved to Gatineau, (which I think may have been at the recommendation of your father). Us kids in both families were close to the same age and became great friends and in some cases best friends. Your mom's passing ends an era between our parents, but us as their children will continue to enjoy each others company every now and then. Take care my friends and our sympathy to all of you.
