Dear RJ and Michael,
I was Looking For An Address To Send Pictures Of Your Mother and Father, And Your Mom and Her Boys At Grand Lake in Oklahoma, and stumbled upon the News of Your Fathers Passing.... Please Accept Mine and Dr Jerry's Deepest Sympathy In regard To Your Loss... Your Father was A Very Kind Man Who Adored Your Mom And Was So Very Proud Of Both Boys. We all Spent Many Happy And Fun Filled Evenings On One Anothers Patios... Dr Jerry and I Remember Listening to Your Fathers Italian Operas Resonating From Your Patio Upon The Hill Down To Our Patio...We would Laugh And Comment "Well, Ralph's Home, His Loud Italian Operas Are Going To Convert Us From Country Western And Irish Clogging To Italian Operas and Italian Folk Dance! He Loved Celebrating Life With Laughter And Memories of His Family Growing Up And His Work...After Your Mom Passed, Your Father Was a Pillar Of Srength For You, and Displayed It With A Venegance That Your Lives Would Not Be Inundated With Sorrow But To A Future With New Beginnings! Dr Jerry and I Experienced his Hurt and Loss. But He Channeled His Sorrow Towards His Boys that Life Must Be Continued With Moving Forward And No Time To Waste! He Was a Strong And Unyielding Man When It Came To His Boys...We Lost Contact With All of You, But, Our Memories Of You, (Playing in your Pool, Running Around The Common Ground) , Val, And Ralph, And Joyce and Dennis Ball Will Always Be Cherished! With Our Warmest Regards And Hearfelt Sympathy, Dr Jerry and Pam Gibbons...
