Lighting the candles for Ruth E. at these grand old churches is touching; and it is a well deserved gesture.
Ruth was special. She radiated friendliness and good will. She was smart too. Back in our Trivial Pursuit days we were all amazed that she could know so much. Good grief, she was only about fourteen!
She grew up right before our eyes. Dwayne, Tony, Peace, Ridgeway and me were part of her extended family. We were always around. And even in later years when our lives diverged, when she saw us, she greeted us with a hug and a familiarity reserved for family.
She had a sharp wit. Her laugh was easy and genuine. When we see her again, I'm sure she will remind us of what a bunch of morons we were; but, there'll be a smile on her face. There always was.
There will certainly be a big grin on mine.

I can't believe I missed this long-ago post. Thanks for your touching insight into our beloved daughter! She loved all you guys so much and would still be calling us morons if she were here. Love ya man!
