Barb, Greg, Rick and Cheri, I am so very sorry to hear of your mom's passing. The last time we returned to Ohio I had messaged Cheri to see if I could visit with her and it just didn't happen. I loved your parents so much as your dad was my little league coach and your mom was just like all of the moms back in the day, wonderful. I just saw this today and wanted to let you know how much your parents made a difference in my life and am so thankful that I was blessed to have crossed paths with them. God has a plan for us all and He did me a large favor by allowing me the blessing to have known them! We'll see them again and that's the reward for staying the course! God Bless!

Helen was a great person and we will miss her so much. We felt like we became part of their family when she and Ralph moved in next door. Tim and Ralph worked on so many home projects together. And we all loved playing cards each week. Helen and Ralph are together again. We will miss them and think of them often.
