"Well done, thou good and faithful servant!"

I will always remember my "Uncle Ralph" for the kind and generous person he was. I will treasure my memories of our family times together, and his wonderful sense of humor. The stories he told of his childhood with my Mother Aline and my Uncle Morrie.
My prayers are with you cousins in this time of sorrow. Love to you all.

Nature
As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.
