Dear Veda,
So very sorry to learn of Ralph's passing. I enjoyed many hours with you both at Charlie B. Travels where I helped arrange your memory-making vacations. You two were an amazing couple and the times I spent with you will always be held dearly in my heart. May God be with you as you continue your journey through life until you two meet again. Love always!

I was so sorry to hear of Ralph's passing, Ve. Remembering back to the days of the Sunday evening services at Union in downtown Wilmington with Ralph leading the singing -- and you playing. I also remember our days of telemarketing at DuPont. May our Lord grant you peace and comfort in your separation after 62 years of marriage -- until you are once more reunited.

So sorry to here about Rev. Ellis, he was a very good minister and a great friend to my mother and the rest of the family. I know my nephews had a good friend in Timmy and prays for the rest of the family.

I am so sorry to hear of your great loss. Recently I lost my dear mother,
and found great comfort in the Holy Bible, like at Isaiah 25, verse 8 -
"The Sovereign Lord will swallow up death forever, and wipe away the
tears from all faces." Also at Revelation 21 verse 4, we find God's
promise to remove both pain and death. For more comfort, I turn to
the website at: www.jw.org (Search: Comfort)

Our sincere condolences to your family from our family. We lived in Georgetown and attended Wesley Church when Rev Ellis was there. He married my sister and myself and was a good friend to our family. My Grandfather and Grandmother, Ralph and Jessie Carey were especially fond of him. My Grandmother often said she felt like he was the son she never had.
