The Grice family is well known to me although I never had the privilege of meeting Ruth in person. But stories about her from Adrian when I was a Year I student at CMCC in the early 80’s will always be remembered. And teaching at CMCC brought me together with Leslie, Kyle and Kevin. The family is a chiropractic legend and from spending the last 40 years with them, I have concluded that Ruth was the hub of that legend. My condolences to the Grice family.

SUSAN GILLIS LAWSON
Our hearts go out to Adrian and his family. I worked for Dr. Grice when I attended CMCC more than 40 years ago and learned SO much from him. I remember Ruth hosting the staff Christmas party and I was so touched to be invited into their home. She was a wonderful hostess and was the “woman behind the man” for many years as well as an accomplished woman in her own right in so many areas. Her love for life was contagious and her love for others was felt by all. She will be missed.
Sent with love to the Grice family and friends,
Gordon Lawson and Susan Gillis-Lawson

Dear Adrian and Family,
On Mother s Day this yearI was thinking of Ruth…It is with sincere sadness that I saw the news.
The Grice family held a special place in Peter s heart and he very much admired each one of you…
He always spoke so highly of Ruth..
I in turn got to know all of you and was drawn into the special family that you are …
Ruth s qualities were exceptional as she was definitely remarkable in so many ways…
I cherish the memories that I have getting to know her as do Lauren, Ashley and Hallie…
Sending lots of love to all of you, Beverley
Andrew Olsen
Good Bye Ruth. You gave such a calming warm energy whenever I came to yours to hang out with your son Kevin. I always marvelled at the perfect family you had and I was very envious. May you rest in peace.
