Not sure what to say?

Bonnie and family: It's been 23 years since we moved from Burton, but I just heard about your loss and wanted to send my condolences to you, Tammy, Shelley and the rest of your family. We enjoyed knowing Ralph and remember his sense of humor and total enjoyment of the kids and their accomplishments at Berkshire.

Bonnie and family, your loss is so profound. I am so very sorry. I pray healing will come. I am glad you are celebrating Ralph and his life and will continue to do so. God Bless you all.

I was stunned to hear the news.... What a great loss for all of us. I have so many fabulous memories of our "Common Bond" days, with Ralph first being a performer and then our "techie." Not only did we make great music, but we all could party, including volleyball games at the Burton farm..Ralph always had such a positive attitude and was such a fun addition to any group... Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. Know that we love you.

Bonnie and family: I have had the pleasure of working with Ralph at Allstate for many many years. A lot of laughs. He certainly was a very special person. Always able to depend on him in time of need. Always talked of his family and naturally a very proud grandfather. He will be missed by many.

Bonnie,
Ralph was a person full of life and love for others. He was our Delta Gamma "Anchor Man" and he made so many of our fundraisers fun and successful. Know that your DG sisters are keeping you and your family in their thoughts and prayers. Sorry to miss Ralph's celebration of life open houses. May all your wonderful memories of being together bring you peace and joy!
Love in the Bonds.

I am so sorry for you loss Jessica. May you take comfort in knowing that you all have a very special angel strictly dedicated to watching over you and your family. God Bless you. Gina Brown

Auntie Bonnie and gang, I too am devetated by your loss. Uncle Ralph was very much a Hero to me for as long as I can remember. I have honestly striven to be like him since becoming a father myself. I envied the relationship that you all seemed to have and I will continue to strive to that end. I don't know of another man that I've met who even compares to him from my perspective. I am certain that I am only one in a long line of youths whose life he influenced without even trying to.I wish I...

Dear Bonnie and Family,
It has been many years. I have been a friend and neighbor of yours dating back to Rye Rd. days when Barbara and I were classmates. I remember when you and Ralph started dating. I remember him as being kind and funny. My deepest sympathies to you all.
Regards,
Sharon Irwin
