Dear Cleo,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. For me it has always been Cleo and Ralph, and now you are alone. Not really, though, because you are much loved dear sister. God knows your sorrow and your grief. Rest in the knowledge of his love. His perfect love is eternal.

I am so thankful that I had a few recent opportunities to see you both.

We love you.

Clif and Joleen

Ralph was my closest friend and really still is. We worked together in the 70's and my wife and I would go out now and then for diner and dancing. We stayed in touch over the years via the phone and emails. He always said I made him laugh. I miss him at a distance knowing I can no longer phone him. I didn't realize he was so handsome as a younger guy. Farewell my friend. Bill Vincent
