Words cannot express my sorrow. I have fond memories of our time spent together as children. I always have and always will love you my dear cousin. Rest in peace with God.
It hurts to know I will not see your smiling face or hear your laughter again until we meet in heaven. Until then I will hold on to the memories of our childhood close to my heart. It helps to know that you are no longer in pain and, in the arms of the Lord. For we all know that there is no pain and, suffering in heaven. I love you Ralph and, will miss you so much!

We were deeply saddened to learn of Ralph’s sudden death. It was a delight to talk with him at the Farmer’s Market. We last saw him there on March 22, just two weeks ago. Our thoughts and prayers are with all his family.
