Your mother was the greatest. I'll never forget her wonderful smile. She and Oren always made it a point to visit my Mom (Irene) and Dad (Archie), which they always looked forward to. They even had a "hook" or two.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know it has been a difficult time and wish you to know that I enjoyed knowing your mother and hearing many of her family stories while we shared moments with the Ralphs throughout the years. Give Orin a hug and a God bless. Alden and I are thinking of you at this time and am glad you will all be together. She will be missed!
