Our condolences to all the family at the loss of another member, Ralph. My first memory of Ralph was the time he, Dee, Aunt Blanche and Uncle Donald came to my folks house with their new little baby. I was SO impressed with the baby! I thought Dee was pretty nice too! Then I got to meet and visit with Ralph at the 50th wedding anniversary party that we attended for Blanche and Donald.
That was great! Would like to have been able to be more closely connected to my Comstock/Hewitt cousins. Anyway, our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May the peace of God be your experience at this time. Love from Duane and Elaine

Our thoughts & prayers are with all of you. Although I have not seen cousin Ralph since I was a kid I do remember him visiting my folks' farm in WI and how much I enjoyed playing with his little boy. Uncle Don and Aunt Blanche visited frequently in their later years so we were always updated on our "cousins" and they were so very proud of all their children. They are reunited in Heaven and smiling down on all of you.
Wishing you peace and God's blessings in this very difficult time.
