When our loved ones pass from this world into eternity, it is so hard on those who love them. I am so sorry for your loss. May the Lord give you comfort in knowing that Ralph is at peace, no more pain and suffering. It doesn't help you miss him any less, but hopefully you and your family can find some sense of peace. He was a hardworking family man that loved his family dearly. God bless all of you.
