Ralph, I will miss you too. I have often referred you to my clients over the years and was always impressed with your honesty, quality and craftsmanship. I was also personally impressed with your gentle spirit and demeaner... I am confused with this situation... no words to describe. I hope and pray that our father in heaven will watch over Kandice and the girls and protect them. Peace.

To the Wisco family, David and I are so sorry for your loss.
I had Ralph in one of my high school church classes. He was quiet. We ask the kids to draw a picture of what they thought Jesus looked liked and we told them they had only 5 min. Ralph drew just half the face of Jesus (beautifully) it took my breath away. I ask "why did you only draw half of his face?" He replied if you have given me 10 minutes I would have finished it. That picture and story has been living in a frame in our home since. People ask about the picture. Ralph has helped spread the gospel all these years and his art will continue to make people ask. Wonderful mind.

My heart aches for your loss! Ralph always had a smile and you could tell his fierce love for Kandice, the girls, Ralph and Janet, Elizabeth and Kelly along with the rest of the family. He has left a huge void in so many lives!!! May the Lord sustain and keep you until you meet Ralph again in heaven! Kandice - if the angels don't know some heavy metal songs, I think maybe Ralph is teaching them some right now!!

Dear Ralph, although I only had the chance to meet you just that once, I thank God for that. You were my close friend's husband and so, now I can never say that I never had the privilege of knowing you, if even for that brief moment. I wish I hadn't left so soon that night, but glad I left with a hug to you and Kandice. I promise to be there for your wife, as we were there for each other as teenagers when we were left alone.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Ralph was a wonderful person. He was full of kindness and love...he was always willing to help anyone with anything. I always loved spending time with him and I so loved his smile...it could light up a room. I was so blessed to have gotten to know him when he was young, and to know his precious family. My love and prayers are with them all. I will miss you Ralphie, until we meet again.

Ralph was an exceptional person that radiated the love and compassion of Christ. We were all so blessed by the many gifts God had given him. He will be missed by many. May his family be comforted by the fact that we will see him again in heaven and that all the friends he left behind will do whatever we can to help them.
