I am so sorry for your loss. Ralph was a great man and friend like no other. I learned a lot from over the year and hurt myself laughing at stories of his from the past many many times. Loved him very much and will deeply miss him.

My deepest sympathy to the whole family of Ralph's. A good man can't be replaced, but then memories can't either...hold on to those. In the hard days ahead, may God bless and comfort you in His own way. With Christian Love, and Blessings. Aleta C, Beane

I am so sorry for your loss. Judith, both you and Ralph have always been good to me. I have lots of fond memories of hanging out in your shop. This week a year ago we buried mama. I'll never forget that sweet hug from Ralph at the funeral home. Thinking of you this week and the weeks to come.
