Words can't even begin to express the loss that we feel today. Ralph, was my dear brother-in-law and always Uncle Ralph to Brooke. Our families grew up together, and we share so many happy memories - too many to count. Those memories will sustain us in the days ahead, and they will fill our hearts with love and joy. My loving thoughts and prayers are with you. All my love, Paula
