Trudy and Family,

I was sorry to hear about the passing of Ralph. Trudy, it is always a pleasure to see you when I visit GRV and I know my parents enjoyed you both very much.

God Bless you all,

I have to admit that Ralph was one of my "favorites" at Glenwood Retirement Village while I served as chaplain there.  You just couldn't help but like him.  He would kid around and try to lighten things up even when the going was tough.  And Trudy, you were the best, most loyal and loving wife any man could have had.  And yes, as Cheryl said, Ralph adored you ~ easy to see why.  Ralph is surely enjoying his heavenly reward, and as he rests in God's peace, my hope and prayer is that his loved ones can take much comfort in knowing that Ralph is back Home, after a wonderful life on earth with the support of his loving and dedicated wife and family.

My sincere condolences to you and your family Trudy.  I remember in the late 1960's coming through the woods from Gordy's Trailer Court to play with Peggy and Larry while you where "homesteading and building a house in the woods south of town".

Trudy,
So sorry to read of Ralph's passing.  We certainly enjoyed the two of you when dad, George Tauber, was in GRV.  Cheryl and I often talk about you and wonder how things are going for you.  May Ralph rest in peace.
