I don't think I have to tell you all how much Ralph always meant to me. What great memories I have being out at the farm, riding Bonnie and Stormy. I remember how "heartbroken" I was when he married Sally, it made me realize at the ripe age of 9 that I wasn't first in his life. I remember writing to him when he was in the service and how happy I was jumping off Grandma and Grandpa's porch into his arms when he came home. It thrilled me to no end to see he carried that letter with him for a very long time, even though it was in my grade school printing. I know we lost contact through the years, especially after we moved to Texas, but was so excited when he called out of the blue and we met in Durant for dinner. At that time I was able to introduce him to my husband, Tim. I will miss him so much, I will miss the memories, God Bless you Ralph. You will always be number one in my heart. Les, Diane, Sally, and all the family.you have my love and are always in my heart and in my prayers. I love you, Patricia
