I’m very sorry for your loss, Ralph and Madeline were very nice neighbors to my grandparents (Edward & Lorretta Suddard). I remember many fond memories on Blenor Ave, God Bless

Connie, Cindy & family:
My heart goes out to you and your family. It was a privilege to know your Mom, and to share those last two days of my Dad’s life with Madeline there, grieving him as well. I think it was wonderful that she felt Malcolm was her Ralph, and I know that he enjoyed every moment that they shared together at Fort Hudson those last few months of Dad’s life. It doesn’t seem possible that May 25, 2013 was almost a year ago.
God Bless you and your family and we shall always treasure these memories!
