Patrice, Michelle and family. Our deepest sympathy to you on the passing of your dear Dad. I was looking for photos for my sister's birthday and came across the wedding photo of Barbara and Ralphs with your Dad in the wedding party. Such a long friendship between them. Our memories of them live on in our hearts.
