I have great memories of the trip we took our Senior year with Grandma Doris and Grandpa Stan. I will always cherish them!
Diana and Judy and your extended family: We have every reason to believe brother Stan and Sister Doris are together again. They both lived the kind of lives we know believers have every reason to expect the afterlife that is beyond the one we live on this earth. We all know when our time comes, we hope we can all be united again. What a pleasant thought to help sustain us. Love to all, Ralph/Shirley and family
