Peggy and Nick, you are in our thoughts and prayers. It is hard to be so far from home at a time like this. Uncle Ralph was such a dear person...loving and kind. I have some wonderful memories of times together when we were all much younger than now. He touched so many people. Will see you all when we get home.
Love, Karen and EVans
