To the Laurey Family. Ralph was a very good friend and brother to my brother, Bruce Warren. He was a tremendous help to our family during Bruce's illness. We are very sorry to hear of his passing. There's a wonderful peace in knowing that our Lord is always there watching over us with boundless love and keeping us in His care. May you find comfort in knowing that your love one is with the Lord and the wonderful memories that will replace the sadness of your loss. Our prayers and sympathy are with you.

To the Laury family: Earth has no sorrow heaven can not heal. The Burning Bush family will have a void, because Mr. Ralph has gone home to be with the Lord. His strong, melodic singing voice will surely be missed. Also, his loving hugs and brotherly kiss will also be missed. Whenever we had a program or someone had to be picked up by the church van, our beloved Mr. Ralph was "the man". You never saw a frown on his face. He faced his illness, with patience and grace. The last sermon Mr. Ralph preached, was two weeks ago while collecting the offering. Mr. Ralph could not stop talking about the goodness of the Lord! He was also happy to be in the land of the living. Not only was he asking us to give God our best, but he was letting us know God is our all in all and we were truly blessed. Mr. Ralph sleep now my friend, hopefully I'll see you one day when my journey ends.
