May 23, 2026 at 8:07 amTo the Parris Family,
On this day of deep sadness, I am reflecting on every cherished moment spent with your mother and late father. I still vividly remember our childhood in **Elstree**, laughing as we watched our parents dance; back then, it felt like those days would last forever.
While reality eventually brings change, we remain connected to both the past and the future. We are held together by the sweet memories of those who have left us and the hope of moments yet to come.
You are in our thoughts as the world gathers to celebrate a truly special life.
**Rest in eternal harmony, Auntie Ruth.**
With love and blessings to you all.
