Dear Ralph and family. I just received word of Eileen's passing. I regret your loss and am sorry I did not hear in time to be there to comfort you. I have many special memories of our times together and watching you kids grow up. You were a solid and great family and contributed much to the growth of Southside Church. May God hold you in the hollow of his hands until the pains of your loss ease and may he take us all to meet with Eileen at His appointed time. The reunion will be a most wonderful event. God Bless You.
