Debbie,
The oldest of the Corley boys,David,sends sympathy thoughts for you from Bill and Bob also. We lived down below the Rodenbaugh's on Crestvale Road in White Oak Heights. My brothers were about Ralph's age and played in his backyard on Ridgeway Road. Our entire family was fond of the Rodenbaugh's. Give our regards to Frank too. God bless you all in your time of sorrow.
