Not sure what to say?

We were very saddened to hear of Ralph's passing,I have such fond memories of my Dad and Ralph playing and singing,those were the days,Thanks for the memories that I will always cherish, just know that our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of need and if there is anything that we can do, just let us know.

Many blessings were received everywhere Brother Ralph shared his love and talent for the Lord Jesus. Always a smile and a song ; Our thoughts and prayers from the Welcome Baptist Church

Thelma and Family,Terry and I were so saddened to hear of Uncle Ralph's passing.We will always have such fond memories of you both singing at the family reunions.Lucille always looked forward to you all coming to visit.Thanks for the memories we will always cherish. Nancy and Terry Stroud and Family.

Thelma (Critter) and Family, you will be in my heart and prayers. I will always remember Ralph and you opening your home to my Daddy (Tommy) and my Mother (Lorah Mae Hill). Ralph's getting "saved" really touched both their lives. In his last days, my Daddy said that if Ralph could "live for the Lord, I can too" I thank GOD for this. I know life will be hard because he won't be here physically, but oh what a reunion in Heaven some sweet day. I'll pray for and you please...
