Becky and Sandy,
Our hearts are so heavy with sadness for you all. I just saw this and am sorry I was unable to attend the services. Your dad/husband was quite the fighter and loved you all so very much. We know the pain that you are going through. One thing that was said to me that has helped me was this "He will always live on....through you, through what he taught you, through his love for you, and through his spirit in you." I hope you can find peace and comfort in that as I have.
Call if you need me for anything Becky-
Love and hugs,

We are sad that Ralph is no longer with you but know he is celebrating with our Savior in Heaven. We have many fond memories of Ralph--his smile and friendly demeanor, his dedication to his church, and his love of family. I remember playing softball with him and inspiring conversations. Remember to rely on the Holy Spirit for strength during this time.
