Comments: It's almost a year since Ruth's passing but I just found out now in Dec. 2007.What a dear kind, generous,
guiding person.I had many 'guidance-healing' sessions with Ruthover an 8 year time span which helped me walkmy path
...even while she was dealing with hercancer. A wonderful woman who will be missed...but her joyful spirit will be
carried by many.

Comments: Its not easy to write this for me. In writing this means Ruth is really gone. I was a client of hers and
fighting my own battle at the same time in the last few years. She was there for me and I hope I was there for
her. The word 'truth' is shared by the word 'RUTH'. I can't really express what Ruth really means to me. She
showed me my truth and showed me my 'light'. I spoke with her many times through our battle and I didn't
know until closer to her passing she had cancer. She didn't want to worry me. And yes, I would of worried.
Because, I loved her a lot. We shared a lot of honest words after I became aware of her illness. The one
thing I asked her 'What do I do without you if you die and I didn't? And she replied; 'Honor Me'. If I win my
battle, I will be honoring Ruth and her unconditional love she's shown me. She will never leave my thoughts and
my heart. I feel my 'heart light' more and more everyday because of her. And Robert, I know Ruth loved you alot.
She will always be around you. She went to the home where all our hearts really belong. And, you and I and every
one's heart who got the luck of her connection will be lighter souls toward our journey home. I know that is what
she would of wanted for all who knew her. She was COURAGEOUS, HONEST, FUNNY and LOVING not
to mention very intelligent. The day I see her again I'll know it is heaven.

Comments: Dear Hanna, I didn't know you personally, but I feel that I was invited/drawn to your website today,
having the thought about 'one heart' and wondering who/what else was out there with that same name. I googled
the phrase and received many 'hits', but, for whatever reason, I looked at yours first. I believe that when a person
dies, it is because they can do more as part of the Oneness/Spirit than they can do as an individuated soul. I read
parts of your website, and, while doing so (especially the part about the thousand cranes), saw similarities to my
own life and felt very connected. And so, even though I didn't personally know you, I feel as though I was meant
to be inspired by your lifework, as well as the lifework of those who have passed before, as well as the life of those
currently living on earth. May we all be of One Heart to create the peace on earth that our souls long to manifest.
Namaste, Marlene

Comments: Ruth taught many that the spirit is never 'ill' as she moved through the passage of illness. She knew that
her divine spirit was whole and complete as she learned to rest within its eternal embrace. There she found an
immeasurable source of peace...May this same ocean of peace wash over you Robert, as you move through
the world today.

Comments: Dear Ruth, I think of you from time to time and miss your company. Thanks for loaning me Memoirs of
a Geisha while we were in Brazil. I checked it out of the library when we got home to Ft. Bragg, CA. and every
night in bed I read some to Daniel (just like in Brazil) until it was finished. Thanks. It was a great story and you were
a great lady. I won't forget you. I'll continue to think of you now and then and always with a sweet feeling of a cafe
in Brazil and those berry shakes you drank. Love and Peace, Ellen

Comments: Dear Robert,I had just sent you an email re. a labyrinth when I came across the notice about the recent
death of your wife. I'm very sorry. It sounds, on your own site, as though you had great plans for what you could do
together after 2010. May God grant you strength and courage. May you be graced by the peace and healing you've
provided to others through your self-investment in the labyrinths. It seems that this was also a significant focus for
your wife. Realistically, probably an often grubby, paint-spattered, sweat-spotted, wrinkled,and challenging focal
point, but a very important focus to have shared with one another...How symbolic that it doesn't end.

how to live our spiritual values courageously, every day. Thank you for being a role model for me and many others.
Dear Robert, thank you for your love, support, and kindness with our dear friend during her journey. It was a
blessing to bump into you at Passport Luggage last Friday. I had just learned of Ruth's transition 2 days earlier
upon returning to St. Louis from too many trips since early January. You and Ruth were intensely on my mind,
and so it's no surprise, really, that we met that day. Peace and love be with you, Robert, as you continue your
journey. Enjoy the peacefulness of France and the cafe with the fire. I hope our paths cross again and again in
the future. With love, Mary Pat

always. She has been a spiritual mentor for me and has guided me through many of my hard times. I love Ruth.I
remember dancing at John's home with Mary and Ruth. I was on the clouds for days after that experience.I remember
when Robert and Ruth gave their marriage vows to each other under the tree at Tower Grove Park. What a touching,
beautiful experience.Ruth was a love child. I will be very excited when I could think of her without tears in my eyes.

Comments: Ruthie Allwardt. She was in my dorm in my freshman year of college, and she was a sorority sister.
For four years we shared things and we did many things together, and she was always so sophisticated and suave
for a college girl, and I admired her so. And when we all finished college and went our ways, I was so impressed
that she was talking “Peace Corps” and such when I was finding it challenging to just “teach math in high school”.
She was always giving of her heart and soul to help the underdog. But she was a private self. 40 years later, I went
back to our Alma Mater for a visit. Didn’t see Ruth, but walked the new labyrinth that had been created and finished
just that week for this Alumni event. When I found as we left that it was Ruthie’s husband who had created the labryrinth, I
worked a bit with those I’d come with to see if we could contact Ruth. I got her email and we got reacquainted via email
as she shared that she had cancer, and that it seemed to be winning in the battle with her body. It was obvious that she
controlled her mind and her soul and that in that respect she was doing fine. But this battle for her body was wearing on
her, as she was doing all of the right things and still she was losing the battle. Enjoyed her emails for a number of months,
and when I finally didn’t get responses I knew it was because she couldn’t spend time doing this anymore. I still haven’t
seen Ruthie for over 40 years, but we’d crossed paths again, and I knew that I was the better for it. I am mourning
because the world has lost someone bright, creative, and put together. She was a strong soul for us all to learn from and
emulate. I wish her days had been longer, as the light that she gave out was so soothing for the world, but I understand
that she gave as she could, and she was ready to shine now somewhere else. When I see the stars on a dark night, I will
always think of Ruthie up there, as one of those shining stars.

so ago, just about the time that you were about to make your transition, I kept thinking of you and finally
wrote to inquire about you, only to learn about your transition. My view of transition is that it is a graduation
and a healing, with new opportunities to grow. I have not so much lost you but gained a new you. I look back
with much fondness and loving memories of our friendship. I look forward to seeing you once again in my
dreams. God speed, dear one. God speed! Robert Knapp, MD, Director of Mark-Age Healing Haven

Comments: I met Ruth at the the clinic in Kentucky. Personally, as a 'survivor' of Stage 4 cervical cancer 14 years ago,
I chose the traditional massive dosages of chemotherapy. Ruth and I shared several hours of discussion and reflection
regarding our choices of past, present and future treatments. I have never met a person who made me feel the way she
did and I am saddened to hear of her passing. Knowing her for such a brief period of time has given me a more enriched
forever.

watching the sun rise right now, this time of day always reminds me of everyone I know who are far away and
it makes me feel like they are all next door and how beautiful this world is. When I think of Ruth I always think
of the white flower that she put inside that glass ball thing while your house was selling. I was so amazed at how
that flower stayed alive so long, it was like a month. Ruth must have known some flower magic.I love you and
have you in my thoughts.

Comments: Dear Robert,So sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. She has been popping into my mind several times over
the last few months. I first met Ruth in the 80's when she introduced me to subliminal tapes, then A Course in Miracles
and still later with her counseling skills. Many times I browsed in the bookstore in her house. I have fond memories of
meetings at Ruth's or John Hutkins. She has made an impact in so many lives including my own. She feels like a sister
to me. Since she was so deeply spiritual, I'm not surprised she returned home a little early. May you be surrounded
by the love of God and friends during this time.

her soul Pried it apart For a brand new start A delicate art To be always a part And never apart One with the beat
Of the Cosmic Heart. One Heart One Mind One Soul One Life For the ages. She lived her perfect One. The silver

Comments: Ruth HannaFor Ruth…two words come to mind remembering my experiences with her…Care and
Concern. Ruth made these qualities of herself apparent in…the ACIM classes she led and fostered…the workshops
(Stephen Schwartz and Karen Maresca among others) she sponsored…the groups (including Angel Meditation and
Celtic Spirituality) she participated in…the travels (to France) she coordinated with Robert…the writings (newsletters,
Spirit Seeker, Heart Lessons for the Journey Home) where she made certain the reader was left with a reflection from
her heart. Thank You Ruth for sharing your gifts of One Heart with so, so many of us. We love you.

Comments: Dear Robert,My heart is so saddened to hear of Ruth's passing. She is one of my oldest friends; we
met in the sixth grade, and I have loved her ever since. I have special memories of our last visit in St. Louis two
years ago. We stayed out late at night, giggling and also sharing the deeper things of our souls. She took me to
the space where she was going to finish her book; the walls were papered with all of her columns, and together
we read them and talked about them. She shared with me that the two of you were so alike that she often couldn't
tell where she stopped and you began, or vice versa. I have admired her always. In grade school, where she was
already a calm and loving presence. In high school, where she was editor of the paper and I assistant editor.
(She sat behind me in journalism class. We studied together, and always laughed about tearing up the notes as
we memorized them.) I especially liked spending the night with her at her family home on Ohio St. We were
notorious for getting very little sleep during those long nights, and her mom would often have to come in at 3 am
and tell us, 'That's enough.' Then, through her years at Valpo, during which we kept in touch. Then, on her
return from the Philippines, where she visited me in Iowa City. (I had just been diagnosed with melanoma,
and she was a comfort to me.) After that, during my yearly visits to St. Louis, I would call, and often see her.
We always picked up right where we left off, and over the years, I sensed the deepening of her spirituality and
the calming of her spirit. During the last month, I've been thinking about her a lot, and emailed her a few weeks
ago. When she didn't answer, I went to this site today and saw that familiar, loving face--and then read of her
passing. My heart is heavy; friends like Ruth are but once in a lifetime. Tears are rolling down my cheeks as I
write this. Rest well, my dear,dear friend. I know the peace that you shared with us on earth has only deepened
in the realm where you now are.I will miss you so much. My life is the richer for having loved you and been
loved by you.

Comments: Dear Robert....Ruth was a blessing and inspiration in my life. At our last meeting in Minnesota, she shared
with me her journey of choice. I walked with her in spirit as she made her choices, faced her challenges, and did it her
way. I will treasure the note she wrote to me, always holding her positive outlook on life to help others. I honor the
courage she and you displayed. You both, gave all of us, insight into her personal journey and allowed us to give
back to the both of you in our prayers. All of us, who were fortunate to have known Ruth during her time of
challenge, drew encouragement from her words of wisdom. The devotion and commitment you gave to make
Ruth's final stage in life filled with love, was incredibly heart warming. You and Ruth will always be remembered
as a loving couple that walked those final steps together in unity and oneness of purpose. She has left her mark in
our hearts...and you too, must surely know how much we love and support you as you also make a transistion into
remaining here with us as Ruth makes her transition to the place she has come from. She is free... Go ahead and
mourn, and take the time needed to resolve all the pieces of your life together, until one day the Sun will shine
and you will KNOWN the meaning of what you and Ruth really did here on Earth. Journey well, until we meet
again, we here, hold you in our thoughts and prayers in all ways. Blessings

Comments: Dear Robert,We were very sorry to hear about Ruth's passing. We remember with such fond memories
our trip to Chartres with you and Ruth. Those experiences resonate within us always. The crypt, the attic, the roof. . .
unbelievable. We are honored to have shared that with both of you. We remember our 37th Wedding Anniversary
dinner that you so generously treated us to. Meeting you both again in Amien!! The following are words from Henry
Scott Holland: 'Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has
happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly t
ogether is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. . .I am but waiting for you,
for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well.' Be well, dear Robert and we hope to see
you again.With love, Linda and Ed

Comments: Dear Robert & family,I will treasure the time spent with Ruth and you at the Labyrinth gathering in Mass. Her
LOVE for you Robert showed so loud and clear even tho she was not well her loving gaze was upon you, rubbing your
back so gently as we all sat in the conference room.As a poem says.'Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there
I do not sleep I am the thousand winds that blow I am diamond glints on snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain I am
gentle autumnal rain When you waken in the morning hush I am the soft uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am
the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there I did not die.' Ruth will always be part
of everyone she touched.Bless you and yours at this time of need. LOVE AND LIGHT, BJ

Comments: Ruth was very fortunate to have lived a rich life, full of love and meaning. She contributed to the well
being of all who met her or read her words--by being joyous, loving and generous. I feel sad for those who were
close to her--espeically her devoted husband. It will be a heavy adjustment to no longer see, here, or touch this
amazing being. Take comfort in knowing what Hawaiians believe--that only bodies die--not people. Her powerful
love is still with you and always will be. May it comfort you to bathe in that love.I invite you, Robert and family,
to come to Hawaii to heal, giving the ocean a puleria lei in her honor. I have Grief Relief flower essences: bleeding
heart, borage and walnut for you. May I send you some?

Comments: How well I remember meeting Ruth for the first time when we both found ourselves with Ken Wapnick
at one of his early workshps and get-togethers around the Couse in Miracles. (It must have been around 1985
or so). I can see her kindly face with those wonderful small braids like some intricate celtic knotwork resembling
the twists of life journeys and falling from her 'temples'. I always loved the metaphor in that. And of course the
memorable pilgrimage to France and Labyrinth Society Conferences. She will live on in my memory as one of
my earliest early fellow pilgrim contacts. I honor her and her gentle and strong life's work.

helped me with information and blueprints for building a labyrinth in Columbus, Georgia, and I have respected
your wisdom and experience since meeting you and Ruth at the Gathering in Arkansas. The labyrinth was the
truest place to grieve that I discovered when I was widowed due to my husband's cancer. It is helpful that you
already have it in your life. You are surrounded with loving support from around the world as you suffer this
incredible loss. Ruth is healed, whole, and holy, but you miss her as do many others. Take very good care of
yourself. Bless you, Barbara

is resting gently and lovingly in the arms of angels. Ruth was a great teacher, inspiration and ultimately a mentor to
me. She had a profound effect on my life and the path I have chosen to take. So often when I find myself struggling
with something, I hear her soothing words in my head and that alone gives me great comfort. The words, kindness
and wisdom that Ruth shared with me will live on in my work with others. I will never, ever forget her and will
always be filled with gratitude for the blessing of knowing her. Robert - I am thinking of you and keeping you in
my prayers.Love, peace & light, Debbie Pullin

Comments: Such an embodiment of peace & light Ruth was! I am deeply saddened by her passing, but sure that
she continues to shine her light down on all of us from her special place in heaven. Ruth and I last talked in December,
shortly before this year's World Peace Day, and she told me she would not be able to attend the event, but that she
was still holding the intention for full and total healing for 2007. I could not help but remember the words channeled
from Emmanuel at the gathering years ago at the Sheldon, which Ruth made possible. Someone asked if healing was
always possible, and the answer was 'Yes, if you understand that death is also a form of healing.' I am absolutely
certain that Ruth has attained the 'full and total healing' she intended at the spirit level. Surely her soul shines like the
brightest of stars! Robert, may all love surround you. Thank you so much for bringing so much happiness into Ruth's life.

stepped down to attend to her health and well-being, I was tapped to pick up where she left off as the Secretary
of the Board. Every encounter I had with Ruth was as if we had known each other for a long time. I experienced
her as many others in the Spirit Book have described - gentle, wise, intimate, and memorable. I trust that the
memories shared in this book, joined with the indelible memories of your shared life, will sustain you in the dark
times, buoy you in the joy times, and nourish you at all times. My prayers are for Ruth, and you, and the infinite
web of amazing connections touched by you both. Harriette Royer

Comments: I met Robert and Ruth for the first time in Paris, the City of Light. It was August 2001 and we were
gathering there to move along to Chartres where their light was leading us on pilgrimage. That time spent in
France under their gentle guidance broke open my heart and let the light of Spirit shower the parts of me t
hat had been in darkness with healing, wholeness and strength. At the 2005 TLS Gathering, Ruth handed
out a pamphlet called 'A Message from Ruth Hanna To Labyrinth Friends'. In it she included prayer possibilities
to use in the first person 'I' and then change to include her name. That pamphlet has stayed on my nightstand ever
since, and one prayer in particular has carried me through some very dark times. As I read it again I clearly hear
Ruth's voice speaking to me from the realms of light: 'I Am Light, vibrating radiating Light. God within me
consumes my darkness, transforming it into Light. This day I Am a clear and focused channel of God's Light.
Flowing through me is a crystal clear, living fountain of Light. The Light that I Am penetrates the most dense f
orms of matter and shines beyond to the spiritual essence of all things. God is Light, I Am Light. Amen.' Thank
you Ruth. And thank you Robert for sharing the treasure that was and is Ruth. I am grateful and honored to have
been part of your lives. Your loss is huge but I pray that the light of love is bringing you comfort.

Just at that moment (I'll never forget), she pointed out two yellow butterflies flying right before me and said that was
a sign that my relationship was very close. Two months later, I met Ivan. May she rest in peace and go on to a
reward she most certainly deserves.

Comments: One of the things I really looked forward to at the annual Gatherings was connecting with Ruth. I
never knew Ruth well, but I always felt drawn towards her and I always felt welcomed by her gentle spirit
whenever we met. To me she was an artist, soulfully creating her life in harmony with The Divine Presence,
listening to her heart and the hearts of others, sharing wisdom and joy. One of our joyful moments together
was kicking off our shoes and dancing together at the Minneapolis Gathering. I found Ruth to be playful,
adventuresome, and courageous, and I am grateful fthat our paths touched for awhile. I miss her, but I know
she lives on in another way......still blessing others.The two of you were a wonderful expression of a loving
partnership, and I know your loss is great, Robert. May you be comforted by the great Love that surrounds you.
You have my deepest sympathy and love. Elise

over 2 years in fundraising and construction, Ruth came to the Dedication Ceremony and the Labyrinth Conference
that followed. I was totally spent both physically and emotionally from coordinating the effort. The day of the
conference Ruth said to me, 'Many people have come to me and said they wanted to build a labyrinth but
YOU actually DID it.' It make my day and I have held her words in my heart since. Thank you Ruth for your
kindness and insights. We will miss the light you brought to this world.

Comments: Dear Ruth, We walked the labyrinth in Ashland last Sunday,January 21st, the one that Robert painted
a few years ago for Trinity Episcopal Church, not knowing in our consciousness that you were soon departing.
We now know why this was such a special walk....as you were in the process of transition and now are surrounded
in the heavenly angelic realm... in the presence and power of love eternal. It was your love that touched so many and
that love and gratitude is now being rememered and showered back onto Robert.... I remember thinking when I first
met the two of you in Arkansas at the labyrinth gathering 'what a loving presence your relationship together
witnessed to all of us'...Thank You Ruth and Robert for this gift of love so openly shared. Robert and friends, I
send you this comfort writing, a morning download from the Spirit...I am here.There is no need to look back, for
tomorrow is over. Now is the time to know my love, Now is the time to receive my love. Open your inner eyes
to this awareness. It is never about your works, it is about my grace. Be still and receive all I have for you this day.
I have come that you would have life, abundance and hope. Be still my child, and allow yourself to be comforted.
I am holding you from now into glory from here into eternity.I am your first love, I am your father, I am the Alpha
and the Omega, the beginning and the end…rest and be held in this truth. There is no fear, only rest and assurance!
I am always with you, I will never leave you, I am with you from here into eternity... from here into eternity… from
here into eternity…. I am love.Blessings, Alena Marie

Ruth. Together, in Chartres 2004, you forever enriched my life so much, so very very much, you cannot know.
And for me the loveliest time of day during that fantastical week was always the morning meditation led by
Ruth. My final special memory was the picnic on our last morning, sitting outside in the sunshine with Ruth and a
few others. Ruth plied me with sweet oranges and gave me a blue ‘Gaia’ water bottle which is, here in England,
a daily treasured memento of that one short week in my life that has meant so much. You had a beautiful wife
Robert. With love and sadness, Susan
