Fay and all the Babin Family, What a beautiful moment indeed, when Ralph saw the face of God, then his beloved Daria. I knew how much she loved and adored her Daddy. She would tell us little stories about Ralph and burst out laughing as only Daria could do. Ralph will be remembered as you share the stories and memories of how he lived his life. Please know the deep sympathy and concern that is felt for you and all of your family. We loved him too! All our love and prayers. Connie & Neal

Mrs. Fay I am sorry for your loss of Mr. Ralph. He was a kind, loving, and well respected man in our lives and I'm sure many others as well. The "Rome Street" years will always hold a special place in my heart and memories. The times I spent with Daria and all of you there were just the best. What a joyous reunion with Mr. Ralph and his sweet Daria. Please know that Brett and I are here if you need us. All of our love and prayers. Brett & Dee
