Angie - my thoughts and prayers are with you. A little piece of advice that was given to me when my Dad passed away that has proven true - always remember that even death cannot take away our memories, our wonderful memories... Think of your Dad often and keep him close in your heart and he will be with you forever - he truly will.

To the Bickerton family:
I will fondly remember "Ralphie" as a generous, fun loving and hard-working person who could rush to-gether a last minute printing job if necessary. I'm sure he was very proud of his children, Michael and Angela who both share these traits. I will keep him along with his dear mother, Jesse, in my prayers on this sad occasion.
My sincere condolences I send to all his family.
Sincerely,
Sarah James (Sister in-law)
