We have lost a favourite patient, always cheerful in his own world, making appointments that Edna knew nothing about. Rest with Edna now, you have earned it.

Uncle Ralph, we will miss your cheerful smile, your sense of humour, your can-do attitude, and your cheeky grin. You have been a huge part of our Claridge family life, thank you for all you did. Enjoy your well earned rest, and being with Edna again. Love always, Julianne Tim and family
