We would not presume to “understand how you feel” at this time but we can remind ourselves of the common concern that all good parents share about their children. Both of us want you and your family to feel some small comfort in knowing that we want to help you with your grief in some way be it a hug or a brief but warm “hello”.
Pat & Linda Hampson.

My heart is with you and all your family. I am so glad to have had those few chance meetings with you two more recently. It gives me confidence to believe that you have the strength in your relationship and connections with friends and family to help you through this most tragic time. Wishing you all the strength to accept the support that is available to help you through your grief and the clarity to help each other.

I find it hard to find the right words to say. I only knew Carson thru his music, particularly with Great White North and so enjoyed their performances. Having been a resident of Oliver for the last 15 years ofcourse I knew of the Ruhland family and met Sid thru a mutual friend. It was obvious to see that you were a close knit family and trust that this will help to heal. Sincere condolences Carolyn Tipler

The news of your loss is heartbreaking. Please know that Trevor and I are thinking of all of you and are devastated by Carson’s death. Carson was amazingly talented, gentle and warm. I always loved being around him and chatting about life and experiences. For a young guy he had so much insight and interest. I always enjoyed listening to him play music and sing. The world is a better place because of him. You raised an amazing son. The shadow cast by his parents certainly allowed him to shine brightly in his world.
With hopes that it helps you know we care for all of you.
Love,
Sera and Trevor Allen.
