To the Ratliff family,
I just learned of the passing of Mr. R. I worked for him at SPEC back in the late 90's. My heart goes out to each of you. I always admired what a close and loving family you were. Mr. R. was truly a man larger than life and I'm sure he will be missed by many. My prayers are with you all.

With deepest sympathy,

I am sorry to hear of John's passing. He was a man bigger than life. John gave me an opportunity to grow in my career, for that I will always be grateful. May the Lord give you comfort during this time of grieving. God Bless.

Dear Kim,

Sincerely, Becca

Lisa, I was so sorry to hear of John passing. My mother passed away on June 28. I got your message from my office this week. John and your family are special to us at Silver West.

My prayers are with you and your family. Sincerly, Mike Johnson
