My father, Howard Ringer was a cousin to Richard. Although we did not see your family other than John and Eva who I adored, my thoughts are with all of you. Debbie (Ringer) Cornelius
My fondest memory of Aunt Edith was when I was a little girl. She lived with Grandpa and Grandma in the house on Rockville Road. She was single and very pretty. I thought she was so cool! My prayers and thoughts are with you. Donna (Huston) Shupe
Aunt Edith was one of my favorites and I know my Dad (her brother, Harry) felt the same way about her! They have lots of catching up to do now and I’m sure they’re busy with that as I write this………we send you our best, Gary, Barb, Ian, Emma & Spencer.
I remember coming to Grams house as a child and playing in the back yard with Kellen while Gram and Pa would sit on the screen porch and watch. Her hugs were so warm and comforting. I will miss Gram tremendously, but know that she is with Pa and watching over all of us. Love you Gram always.
