Not sure what to say?

Received this very belated news! This is Jack Coelho I was in the NWK PD. During the 90's. Worked with Ralphie doing numerous security gigs. Mainly @ Walgreens in Ferry St. I'm in disarray about this!

To My Ralphie,
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. I MISS YOU MORE THAN YOU"LL EVER IMAGINE. Every day is a struggle. I spent more than half of my life with you. I knew everything about you. I knew what you were thinking, I would finish your sentence for you. Ralph please be there by those pearly gates when it's my time to be with you again. The last night that we spent together we had such a great time at Natalie's Wedding. We danced, hugged and the way we kissed it felt like we were newlyweds again....

I love you forever Daddy. Forever you will live on in me and my sisters. I love you so much. I miss you so much. Please wait for me in Heaven Daddy when it is my time. I want to walk along side you and be with you in a place where our souls can be free. Rest in peace Daddy I will love you for eternity

My cousin I was looking for him for a long time now I finally find him in a sad way I love u for ever

My heart goes out to the Rivera family ....May God be with your family to provide comfort and strength to you all

My deepest condolences to Ralph's family and friends. He was my dearest childhood friend and I hold many happy memories in my heart. Although I had not seen him for many years, I will truly miss him. My prayers go out to all those affected by this loss so you also find the strength to heal and go on. May God Bless You Ralph, and Welcome You into His Arms.

Good bye, Ralph.... We will meet again...R.I.P.

My deepest sympathies to the entire Rivera family. Ralphy was a dear friend of mine during grammar school and high school and I always admired his wonderful laughter and amazing talents. Even though I haven't seen him in many years, I will miss my brother with all my heart.
You will be missed my friend.
