Steve, Danny, Janie, Vickie, grand-children, extended family and Church family. We remember Bro. Ralph as a faithful friend of many years, who, along with Sis. Irma, showed us many kindnesses during the 30 years or so since we first met, when we went to Ohio for Leroy to pastor the Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church. Bro. Ralph was painting the Church parsonage the first time we saw him. Many precious memories flooded our souls when we learned from Bro. Ross today of his homegoing Fri., and funeral today. It was just before the funeral hour when we received the message, so we were able to pray for the family and for Bro. Ross as he conducted the funeral. We have prayed regular for Bro. Ralph since he lost Sis. Irma. Our hearts go out to you in this loss. May He comfort each one as only He can do.
Love and prayer,
Leroy and Beverly Pack

Danny & Pam, I send my condolences. May the grace of God be with you during this time of sorrow. I'm reminded of God's word, "weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" (Ps 30:5). You guys are special friends, sorry for your loss.

Cousins, Bob and I were so upset to hear about your dad yesterday. We came home late to hear a voice mail from Chuck. I am really glad I got to see him and talk with him at my dad's funeral. I'm sure you will miss him very much but I'm sure you also know where he is and that you will see him again. That's such a comfort to me when I think of my family members that have passed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
