Dear Juanita, Rita, Robin and Brenda my heart goes out to you with regard to Ralph's passing. He was such a kind man to me growing up and your family hospitality and love was truly exemplified by such a great man. As a little boy Juanita and Ralph were a couple that showed me unconditional love. He will be missed but I am confident that the great shepherd Jesus Christ will lead and guide you through this valley. Love and prayers,

Dearest Juanita, Rita, Robin and Brenda and your families....
We are honored to be of some comfort to the Coon family during this time. Ralph was a fun man to talk during my visits over this past year and knowing he is with Jesus will make this a special "Home Going Celebration". No doubts where he resides right now. But although there is joy of knowing where he is - there is still pain because he will be deeply missed.
We are daily keeping you in prayer for God's peace,...
