I used to love going to Aunt Ruth’s house when I was a child. She was always so bright and cheerful.
I could play for hours, and Aunt Ruth would be right there with me.
I regret not being able to make it to the service,however I was there in spirit.
I will surely miss her,but it gives me peace knowing that she is in paradise.
