Inez, Dale, Ralph Jr. & Family,
We are sincerely sorry for your loss, although we all know that Ralph is in a better place. God promises all his children a mansion in heaven, so i'm thinking Ralph is sitting in his mansion singing " When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be" "When we all see Jesus we'll sing and shout the Victory" AMEN!!!!
We didn't really get to see Ralph but a few times and he was such a nice man.. and we enjoyed the little conversation we had with the family also..
May God bless each and everyone of yall,

Mike & Nancy Salyer
