In Conclusion

Well, that is not all there is to Ruth but that is about all I can take. This short book was written with smiles and laughter but it did come at a cost. The tears flowed far too often and I had to take many breaks. I miss her and my father deeply. My parents filled my life and all the lives around them with so much that would be impossible to document what they meant not only to my family but to all those that knew them. A testament of this would be that when my father passed he had been retired for years, my mom had been ill for a while, they no longer entertained or went many places for that matter and yet more then a thousand people attended the funeral. They were not there just for my father they were there for them - Nanny and Pa - Ruth and Ross.

How could I have known that the first two people I met when I came into this world would be the finest people I would ever meet.

With love, Charlie.
