Still hard to believe that I won't be seeing your smile or have the opportunity to make you zuchinni bread or cake balls.

Will not forget the wonderful time that we had on our trips to Hawaii, Alaska and France.

Glad to know that you are in heaven watching over all of us.

Love Vicki and Marty

Ralph was part of that great brother/sister team: Elmer, Mary Jean, Ned (my father), and Ralph. Sad to see the last one leave us, but I am sure they are all together.
