I am very sorry for your loss and all your family has had to endure. I followed the happenings on TV etc from start after hearing the name. It was then I heard he had relation in Florida. I immediately said "Oh I possibly went to school with his father in St Augustine, Fla. That was when I had learned his middle name was"David". I said this family had probably relocated in the Chas-TriCounty area somewhere also. Later I realized that it was the son of what must have been a younger sister of the David Ratliff that I went to school with in St. Augustine. In other words, I did not not know the family directly, but through it all, I felt a real connection... whether right or wrong association with the schoolmate in Florida.. and again I am so sorry things ended the way they did. May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, help you as you work thru all this sorrow at this time. Doris Hitchcock Bowers
