Beautiful service today for Ruth (I couldn't be there in person but I joined via the video link) Fond memories of your infectious laugh Ruth around the NLC offices. You will be massively missed by all who knew you.

I had the pleasure of working with Ruth for many years with NLC. Always happy and bubbly with an infectious laugh. My deepest condolences to Ruth's husband, family, friends and work colleagues. Unfortunately I'm unable to attend the funeral but I will be thinking of everyone and raising a glass later. RIP Ruth, love Sarah xxx
