I was so very sorry to hear from Barb of Ruth's death. And thank you Lynn for calling my mother. I dreaded calling her having just several months ago had to tell her of Aunt Irma's death. I am very sorry that I will not be able to make it to the services but between Barb and Sandy and Jim they plan to get Mom there. (She amazes me. She grieves with each death but seems unshaken....lots of experience plus, of course, her faith.) I last saw Aunt Ruth several years ago when I took Mom down for a visit. She was always sweet to me. As you might have heard I moved Mom into an Assisted Living facility about 6 weeks ago. It has been very difficult on everyone. When you see her please encourage her. I am currently swamped in dealing with her affairs and am trying to get back to Ohio as soon as possible. I'll try to upload two photos. Thinking of you all, Conrad p.s. I have a few email addresses but please email me with yours for future reference...conrad.a@charter.net.
