Mrs.Ramsey and family,

Mr. Ramsey was always such a kind and gentle man. He spoke to everyone in the clinic and was concerned for everyone's well being. I appreciated his helping me on committees and keeping me updated about the V.A. We will all miss his easy going manner and smile.

With deepest sympathy
