Joy ... The true measure of a personality is the effect that is felt after meeting someone. We had only one opportunity to meet you and Ralph, in St. George in May. The presence that you two had was a warm and genuine feeling of love and happiness. We feel blessed to have had the privilege of sharing a day with the two of you.

Thank you for your example of love and caring. May God bless you and your family now and always.
