Dear Betty,
I am so sorry that you all have to go thru this, the loss of someone you loved so long is the hardest.
Betty, Sue, Don and to all the rest of the family.
I pray that the God of peace, will send you comfort to which there is no end.
I liked Ralph the moment I met him, which I believe to have been at Dale and Sue gathering for all there families and friends at Pontiac stadium. I thought of him as kind and gentle, humorous and full of wisdom. Well Dr. Ralph Barthes you have left a legacy for sure and for all who knew and loved you I'm afraid you left a very big hole.
Gone but not forgotten!! Remembered with love!
My hugs and love ❤ I am sending to you!
