Hello, My husband and I were traveling in Michigan and I was recalling the time my family visited your parents place in Michigan. My family lived down the street on Ohio Street until we moved to Lombard when I was 8. I remembered your parents and kids fondly.

Dear Margie and family -
My condolences to you all on your loss. I'm sorry I was unable to attend the visitation and service due to being out of town. I know it must be a consolation to you all that Ralph led such a full rich life and influenced so many young minds. You are a remarkable family and I'm sure Ralph's absence will leave a big vacuum in your lives. My thoughts are with you all and I hope you will find comfort in treasured memories. With warm wishes - Jane Gralen
