Dear Gwen, Randy, Becky, Debbie, Bill and Mark, I just wanted to let you all know how much our family is thinking of and praying for yours at this time of great loss. I have so many great memories of your entire family during my young years. When I think of Ralph Posey, I hear him singing "Dem Bones Gonna Rise Again," and I told Mama and Daddy I can hear him singing that in Heaven now. Thank you all for what your family means to our family, and for all the good memories. I wish we could all...

Ms. Gwen and family,
I am sorry for you loss. Bro. Ralph was a wonderful man and a very special person. He influenced the lives of many. I can still remember as a child running up to him to give him a hug and to receive a BIG hug in return on Sunday mornings. It is comforting knowing that he is with our Lord.

I know there are no words that can erase the void left inside your hearts, but you can be consoled by knowing Bro. Posey made a difference in alot of people's lives. I have very fond memories of him and remember the consulation he brought to myself when both my parents died. He will be greatly missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with your family..
