We learned this morning that Ralph's mother, Louise Boverhuis, passed away Thursday afternoon in Albert Lea, Minnesota. Although she was 94, one can never be prepared for a loss such as this.

We've decided to stay the course here and look forward more than ever to seeing the girls next week. Our hearts are with the rest of the family in a little town called Hollandale in Minnesota. The funeral is scheduled for Monday. Please excuse our absence from these pages for a few days.
