Pastor Ralph

I just thought I would share some happy memories I had in knowing Ralph and how he affected my life.

Ralph was always a huge blessing in the lives of everyone in my family.  He always displayed the joy of the Lord through his actions, even in the simplest of things. When I was little, I loved it when he played worship at the home bible study we hosted years ago and that was one of my favorite things about those bible studies, singing along to those fun songs :)

Him and his family always made sure I was able to go to the crusade and it was always a blessing to go with them.

I remember once Ralph was dropping Andrea (his step-daughter) and I off at church and as we were walking away from the car he jokingly said "bye girls! and remember, all boys are ugly!" hahahahahahaha  Ralph was very funny. :)

Also, he always made sure I had a ride home from Day7.  On our way to my house he would always ask me how my whole family was doing and everything.  

Once Ralph was talking to me about Brian and April when they got together and he told me "at first I wasn't sure about Brian because of his piercings and such, but after I met him, I wanted some!!"  hahahahaha :)

He dedicated Abby, He came to every birthday he could like Aprils 18th and my 16th and many others, he took the time to write a letter of recommendation for me

he did my parents vow renewal last month!! such a blessing and honor 
    
I can't express how thankful I am for Ralph, he's done so much for my family and I and gave so much of his time for us and countless others he has affected.  He was an amazing reflection of the Lord Jesus  and I'm going to miss him very very much 
Please be praying continually for Cheri, Andrea, Caleb, Tommy, and David.

He's in heaven with Jesus...there's no better place to be! :)
