Ralph L. Bates

Ralph, Words can not express how grateful I am to have known you. My Grandparents, Martin and Melva Seaver were your and Helen's best friends. As I grew up in the White Lake community, you both were like a second set of Grandparents to me. Thank you for your kindness and love during those years of my childhood. I will always remember you and Helen. But I know that you are now back with Helen and both of my Grandparents, and are smiling once again.
God speed old friend until someday I too...
