Although we haven't seen each other in many years, I will not forget the great memories I have with him. My condolences to his...

Ralphie was little brother, my first and best playmate, and a good guy with the biggest heart. I cannot believe is gone, but I know he is with my parents now. I love you, Ralphy. Monique
