Dear Catalfo Family: My mom (Elaine Gervasi) sent me a copy of Ralph's obituary. I was surprised and saddened to hear the news. I haven't seen him in many many years, but I still remember a very young "Ralphie" as we used to call him. He was full of fun and mischief back then. My heart goes out to your family at this time. Please give my love especially to Aunt Rose. She is such a wonderful and beautiful woman. I am sure it is tremendously difficult for her to lose her child. Even though the rest of our extended family is scattered all over the US and Italy, it is my firm belief that one day we will all be together again as a family in the next life. I am sure that will be one big Italian party!
Love, Deb
