Not sure what to say?

Dear Borge Family,

I am sorry to here of Ralph's passing. My thoughts are with you all!

I'm sorry to learn of Ralph's passing. If my father, Nathan Stillman were still alive, I'm sure he would have been sadden by this event. My father, as a student and friend, appreciated his relationships with Ralph. Ralph will be missed by many but his influence on the art community will live on.

Dear Martha and Family,

I am one of Ralph's many former students. I ended up enrolling at CCAC because everybody told me there was a guy there who was an absolute master. I took his classes over and over for four years, and I credit him with any skill I may have picked up there. I just purely adored him. He was the finest teacher I have ever known, and just an all around sterling human being. I send you my deepest condolences.

Martha, Michelle, Martin and Jason,
I cherish the years our families spent together and especially, the warm bonds of friendship I had with you and Ralph. He was a giant of a man! We are privileged to have known and loved him.
Wish I could be there with you on Sunday.
