Earlier today
I loved having this man as my doctor. I was young and shy when I had my two babies. He picked up on the fact that no one was sending me flowers and sent them to me himself. Such a kind caregiver.

Earlier today
I have the honor of having this man deliver my 2 babies, and 3.5 grandbabies, I will never forget after my daughter had her 2nd, (all natural) he came out and put his arms around me and said, it´s ok grandma, she is a strong woman. Dr. Rappleye also delivered a number of nieces, and nephews, he had the most incredible bedside manner.
He was the only Dr. that women actually looked forward to their yearly examines. .
RIP Dr. Rappleye

Yesterday
Dr Rappleye was a phenomenal OBGYN I´m so grateful for all the time I got with him through the years of not able to have children to birthing my 3 all the ups and downs of womanhood. I´ll never forget his smile the first time sitting in his office seeing his statues and then he came in and smiled, I knew I was in good hands - til we meet again

Yesterday
Dr Rappleye delivered two of my babies. I remember when he delivered my son, he sang ,"put your shoulder to the wheel push along". I have never forgotten that. That was 41 years ago, and he delivered my daughter almost 38 years ago. I remember him being a wonderful and kind Dr. What a legacy he has left.
