Uncle Ralph, you were one of the dearest people in our lives. We will miss you terribly, especially the wonderful letters you sent to help us stay in contact with the family. It is difficult being this far away from family and you shared with us all of the celebrations you participated in. Thank you for loving us so profounding and so deeply. We are ever grateful for your love and support.
