Chris, Paula and family – our deepest sympathy to you all. Please know we are thinking of you during this difficult time and wish we could be there with you – but please always know you're in our thoughts and prayers. Love you – Tim, Kathy, Randi, Dean & Cole
Mrs. Carter, I am so lucky to have known Mr. Carter. He was one of my very favorite patients. Who will ever use that phrase with me again, "how's your momma and them?"I will really miss him. Don't forget, I am not too far away, call if you need anything. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Ralph was my favorite subject in the HF Action Study. I believe Ralph, Marilyn and I all became more than just people working together in a study…..I'll never forget the laughs, dominoes and Brandy. I am very sad right now because Ralph was so special to me. He was truly a warrior to live this life to the fullest. I will never forget him.
Our most sincere thoughts are with you all. May we all know that another life begins when this one ends. Love! Scott & Denise
Chris, I never met your Dad, but I can sure see your resemblence. Over the years you have shared many stories about your parents…take this time to remember the great ones! Paula's and my thoughts and prayers are focused on you and your family.
Dearest Marilyn….as I told your daughter a short while ago, for once the red-head couldn't speak! Jim and I are so profoundly sad at the news. We all have so many super memories of "the good old days". I can still smell the fragrance of the guy with the sexy Aramis cologne! Our group was so special during those early years…kids, dinners, parties and fellowship. Our last strong memory of Ralph was of him rocking out on the screen porch, peeling and eating "finally all the shrimp I can eat". Please know that the little blue house on the island is still here for you, have shrimp & we'll rock! We love you with all our hearts. Ginger 'n Jim
Ralph & Gina, We are so sorry to hear about your father. We are thinking of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Ralph You were only in my life a short while,but I grew to love and respect you for the man you are a family man and a husband that love deeply. You will truly be missed by me. Love to you always you will be deeply missed by all may God bless you always rest in peace.
Chris, May the sympathy of those who care make the sorrow of your heart less difficult to bear. My deapest sympathy to you and your famil. Linda
Marilyn, there are people that we keep close to our hearts even when we live far away and have little contact. You and Ralph have remained with us through many wonderful memories – we shared such fun while camping. We certainly hit it off immediately!!!! Jimmy and I were looking at the pictures of your visit to S.C. just one week ago – we cannot be with you, but our heart goes out to you and all of your family. We will never forget the concern that Ralph had for Jimmy when Jimmy was experiencing serious heart problems. He was a true friend indeed and showed it in so many ways. Just knowing you both and knowing the love you shared made all those around you happy too! God bless you always,and our prayers are with you. Love, Jimmy and CA
