Dear Gracie, Ritchie, Ann and families,
How saddened I was to hear about Raphie's passing. I was even more saddened to hear that his life was such a hard one to endure.
When Grace referred to him always smiling, I could not help but think of his always smiling Dad. Heaven must be awesome having those two be reunited, happy and healthy.
As for those left behind, I will hold you all extra close in my prayers and thoughts. I have walked your path and share your pain of losing loved ones. I wish I could offer you the phrase that so many use.....time heals all wounds....but I cannot. Although it is somewhat true, however it does leave behind scars. This is the big stuff and this is what we save up our tears for.
With my deepest sympathy

I was very sad to hear of Ralph's death. I met Ralph in 1980 while working for USF&G. He was a great friend and he will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with his children, Kristen, Jeffrey and Nancy, at this difficult time.

Grace, Ann and Larry--Please accept out heartfelt condolences on the loss of your son/brother. Although we never had the pleasure of meeting him, just knowing you we know he must have been a really special person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Richie, Georgette, Brian and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. It is so sad when someone dies so young. Ronnie's mother died last week, but she was 92 and healthy and spunky right up to the end and sat on my couch and died. (Brian, I told the priest about my mother and he said, "Wow, stay away from the couch!") You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
