I pray the family and friends of Ralph receive the peace of God that excels all thought. The entire chapter 37 of Psalms is an uplifting chapter to read at times like this. I especially like the end of verse 28 where it says that God will never leave his loyal ones. Continue in prayer to our wonderful Heavenly Father and He will carry you through.

Love,
