Ralph
Our beloved Friend, Leader, Mentor. We have just endured our 1st Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years without you. It was very hard for me. I now realize that everyday that we all spent together working, having fun, traveling together that we shared a great life. You created and made dreams come true for everyone you touched. You were a one of a kind man. Always a good answer to any problem we ran into. I feel so blessed to have been in your realm for as long as I was. I will never forget you and you will always be in my heart.

Jackie, Lolita and Family,

It has been a long time since we have seen each other since my moving to the Washington Metropolitan area in 1981. You all were like my sisters, Yvonne, Linda, Jackie, and Lolita. Everyone thought I was a Samuels even Rudolph Leeper who mistaken me one day and thought I was Jackie. We all were very close and my prayers go out to each of you. May God wrap his arms around each of you and cover you in the blood of Jesus.
