This world is so cruel and thoughtless, but God is still good. I was so upset when I heard about what happened to Ralph. I will always remember him for loving Bladensburg High School. Ralph is with our Lord and Savior now and all we can do as his friends and family is pray for his children. I pray that they will remember their father in a loving and happy way. Thank God for men and fathers like Ralph Thomas. Rest in Peace!
