Karen I don´t know if you remember me or not, but I lived across the street from you, in the green house. MY family and I lived there many years and you and I spent a lot of times talking together. I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you, and your entire family.

Karen, We don't know if you remember us from IBM. Joe was a systems engineer who worked with Ralph. The first time Suzanne and I came to your house we were so surprised to see your pet python! We are so sorry for your loss and sorry our later years have taken us to different states! Ralph will always be in my fond memories. Joe and Suzanne Plesh
