    “Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.” -Herbert Kretzmer

    I know that we are all grieving, but right now Ralph is somewhere where he can once again walk and be happy. He’s probably up in Heaven telling stories, strolling the aisles at Wal-Mart and playing online checkers. He would never want you to be sad, so smile.

    Ralph you were my good buddy for over 10 years. We were the same age and served
    in the Service the same years. I am very happy that I introduced you to our Savior Jesus Christ a few years back. I know you are with the Lord now and all suffering is over. For your family I give my sympathy and prayers.

    You were my hero. You suffered much and yet still had a great spirit.

    I thank God that I we were brought together, I enjoy all the times we had taking about our lives.

    I will see you later and walk down the streets of Gold together.+

    I will miss you and the talks we had.

    Your good buddy,

    Gary Schueren

    Dear Linda,

    Ralph was a bright and shining light on Melissa Drive, and his light continued to shine these past years at Bethesda. We will not soon forget his wonderful love for life, great smile, sunny disposition and his desire to be a good neighbor. He loved to be on his customized tractor with which he cheerfully cleared our driveway on numerous occasions. You may have lost your dearest friend, but please know the good memories will linger and comfort you. You are in our prayers and thoughts, and are here if we can be of assistance in any way.
