Ed I’m sorry to hear about Aunt Ruth. Losing a parent is so hard, as you already know. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of my parents and brother Chuck. I truly believe they are having a beer together and catching up on things, and all of them are HEALTHY and pain free. We will see them again soon. Love from the Edingtons and you’re all in my thoughts.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Ruth the Realtor out of the Fremont and Port Clinton real estate offices. I always enjoyed her dry humor and quiet wit.
I know you will have many good memories to savor.
