Those whom we have loved and lost will come back across the generations to greet us in a great grandchild, nephew or niece perhaps not yet born.

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Ralph a few times at Bob and Cec's but I know one thing...he raised an AMAZING daughter! That is the best legacy for anyone. Big hugs from 'The Sunshine Coast'. Cathie

Dear Uncle Ralph,
Like my Mom, Kay, I too would have liked to have spent more time with you here, but even though I can't bring you back, I too share the hope that one day, we'll be together again for eternity.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

Cecilia, so glad you found us, looking forward to seeing you again, and all family & friends on the 19th.

"When our days on earth are ended, and this land no longer trod, may our names in gold be written, in the autograph of God!"

Dear Brother, how I would have liked to have spent more time with you here, yet I encourage myself knowing, that those of us in Jesus, will dwell in the House of the Lord forever. I look forward to being with you, yet again.

Cecilia, I look forward to seeing you and all family and friends at Ralph's Life's Celebration on the 19th in Victoria. Thank you for letting us know.

It still feels so unreal that I won't hear your voice again or see your amazing smile. I miss you so much, words cannot express. You were truly one of a kind. I love you, Papa. May your next chapter be as beautiful as your life here with us. xoxo
