Condolences for Ralph Donald Johnson Jr.
Brenda, I was surprised when Sally told me that Ralph had passed away. I have been keeping you in my thoughts and prayers but if there is anything more that you need let me know. It is so hard to lose a loved one but it is doubly hard when it is so close to a holiday.
