I was overwhelmed to see all the people at Ruth's wake and funeral. I know that Ruth was a very special person, but neither of us would have guessed that so many others thought that way as well. Everyone had good words and a few were quite broken up. Good God Ruth, why didn't you say everyone loved you?
I'll begin with the staff at University Medical Center. Professional, kind and caring. I cannot imagine any better care.
Ger, John and David Griffin. Made what could have been a very touchy occasion work well. When we discussed Ruth's coffin we agreed on tasteful and simple. I never imagined it would be a beautiful, simple and elegant wooden coffin in a blond stain. Everything ran smoothly and I was seen to with kindness and care.
Father Richie Davern at St Nessan Church showed me care. The mass was beautiful. Ruth had picked the readings and hymns 2 years ago. Needless to say, I wanted to sing but the words made me cry.
Appears that Damo has adopted me. I hope he can feed me :-)
I can't think of any more to say except thank you all. You gave Ruth a great send-off. She's got to be smiling.
