    Belinda, Richard and I just heard the sad news, and we are deeply sorry for your loss. We haven’t seen much of you two, but know that we always thought of you two.. You and Ralph were very good friends and it hurts so much knowing that we didn’t keep in touch. My prayers for you and your family, may God give you strength during this difficult time.
