Aunt Maryann, I am so sad about Uncle Ralph’s passing. I know you must be devastated. Take comfort in the fact that he had a great life with you by his side. I hold you both close to my heart. The world won’t be the same without Ralph Johnston in it. Cheryl Johnston
Uncle Ralph, I will miss you everyday. May you rest in peace. Maryann, I hold you in my heavy heart. Love from Sandra and Clarence Frank III of Los Osos, CA
Dear Maryann and family, I fondly remember all the visits we shared especially when I was in school. After a visit we would go out for coffee before saying good night. I enjoyed Ralph's.jokes and sense of humor. But he loved you more than anything and it showed by the way he cared for you!
