Today I want to tell you about Edison's grandmother, Martin's mom. She passed away eight years ago today. This is a difficult anniversary for her family and I know it is made more difficult as life events happen that we so wish she could have been a part of: Martin's and Monika's weddings, Edison's birth, and Monika's upcoming birth. I have loved hearing stories of her over the years, and meeting different family members who have made her come to life for me. Over the years we will share these memories with Edison to ensure that he knows his "Ma" Ruef.

Once more, thanks for sharing one of the stories within the story. Martin honors his mother through his compassionate, sincere, and loving actions, and I know she smiles down on the three of you each day. love.....

This is a message to Martin and all his family, many of whom I was fortunate to meet in Austria. It was so obvious among all that Martin's mom was a very special person. We never know why special people die so early, but the simple fact is that she still lives among those who knew and loved her so much.
In one sense I could say I wish we could have known her, but in another I know that we do. Through Martin... who so obviously bears her genes and her spirit on this earth.
