Share your love

If you are at this page then you know that a great man, Ralph Duarte, has recently been given a rather gloomy diagnosis – aggressive, metastatic gastric cancer. Now, we all know he’s a fighter, and he swears he’ll be around for many years more. “Here, here!” to that. But, since we know he is here now, and not when he will leave us, we would like to take this time to share with him in some small way how much he means to us. This page is meant to be a living tribute to him, and our love for him. A way for us all to let him know that we care and that, whenever he does go, he will be remembered. To do so, please click on “Comments” at the bottom of this post, or "Post a Comment" at the bottom of the page, and then type what you would like to say into the box provided (at the upper right of the page). To ensure that you don’t have to sign up for an account, we have allowed anonymous comments. Please sign your name at the bottom of the comment so that he will know who you are.


Additionally, Cynthia Osejo, a valued member of the family, my cousin, your....something else or same... has put together a great little photo album page that we can all contribute photos to, or just peruse for our pleasure. I know we all have stashes of memories in photo form that we would like to share. I encourage you to do so here. This is a great way for us to pool our family memories together and to show Mr. Ralph Duarte how much we love him and have valued our involvement in his life, and this family. Please see the link, "Unforgettable Family Photos" to the photo album at the top right of the blog page.
