Not sure what to say?

Ralla was the most amazing advocate for my children during a very difficult time. I remain forever grateful for her intuitiveness and tenacity on their, as well as, my behalf. It was an honor to have known you, Ralla. Godspeed.

I cannot believe Ralla is gone. She was a 2nd mother to me. I am Dr. Ralph Gradman's daughter who was not only her physician but a dear friend. Her and I had so many funny and fun times in Florida. I think of all the things we did together and then cry knowing that I will never be able to speak and or lean on her. I miss you my dear friend and I am so blessed that my daughter proudly carries your name. R.I.P.

Always willing to lend a hand even when she didn't know a person through time. Angels and wisdom comes from everywhere. Condolences to the family, godchildren, and those for whom she cared.

I have never met Ralla in person. We found each other online while searching for ancessors and relatives. We had so much in common. Today she came on my mind and I went online to write her. I am sorry I will not be able to reach you anymore here on Earth, but we meet in eternity.

Sorry to hear you are gone from the earth, but, a much deserved rest you shall have, Ralla. I will miss you as a patient at the dental office. Your conversations were very inspiring. Kathy

A Great lawyer who fought tirelessly for her clients. She will be missed.

Many rush to the service of the rich and powerful. Few rush to serve those most in need. Ralla was one of...

She was someone who sought solutions. I will miss her.
