Teena, this brings such tender memories of 20 years ago, and I am so sorry! I know that we believe in celebrating a life well-lived, and Ralph was the kindest man. He could not have loved you and Kelli Marie more! I know he loved you,too, Mark. I will never forget him! My condolences to Ralph, too.
