July 18, 2010 So sorry to hear of Ralph`s passing. My deepest sympathy goes out to Bobby, Betty, Nancy, Charles, Dana and all of your families. Ralph will be greatly missed. The family photo`s brough back great memories of all of us kids growing up in Hilton together. Those same little Nelson faces were in many of the pictures Mom took of all of us so many years ago. Thinking of You all at this sad time. Lois Charron Stony Plain, Alberta.

Dear Bobby, Betty, Nancy, Dana and Charles, Rhonda and Kevin.
We were so sorry to hear of Ralph's passing.
There has always been a special bond between the Nelson and MacDonald families.
The last time I was talking to him was two years ago on my birthday. He had been talking to Harv that day, and when he found out it was my birthday, he called. It was so nice of him to do that.
Ralph was always so pleasant. Always smiling.
Please accept Gord and my condolances. All of you will certainly miss him.

We are praying for all of you that you may remember the good times and remember that Ralf is with you still. He is in a better place playing music with his friends that went before him.
See you at the service

So Sorry to hear about your recent loss. In the relatively short time I have known Ralph, I have come to adore him, his strength of character and sense of humour and look forward to his visits. I will miss his smiling face. Charlie, I hope you gave him all my hugs and kisses.

Sincere condolenses to each family member. I was sorry that I was unable to attend the service. Over the 22 years that I have lived on the island Ralph was alway friendly and helpful. I will always concider myself lucky to have known him.

Dear Rhonda, Sorry for your loss. I know you did everything you possibly could to make these past weeks so fulfilling for your father. This we all know wasn't always the easiest of tasks. Not to mention all you do to brighten up the lives of many, many people. Your sense of humour will always be a welcomed part of our days ahead and a ray of sunshine for all who cross paths with you. Hopefully we can do the same for you and return the favour. I think of you as a sister as you were always there for me and my family in happiness and even in our sadest hours. Thanks for being "you", Ralph was very lucky to have such a loving person by his side.
Love You,
Tonya

Dear Charlie, Jean and the Nelson Family
Sincere condolenses Charlie on your loss. Ralph was a wonderful neighbour to my daughter and her family and certainly pushed me out of the snow a few times in their driveway.
