Elsa, 
I am so sorry to hear of your brother's death. I know it was such a long and difficult journey - he is now resting in Heaven with my Dad, who I lost May 26, 2003. To the rest of the family: may you be comforted in God's peace, keep the faith and hold strong to the lovely memories you had with Ralph. Elsa, please call me at 521-4994 - I would love to talk to you! I hope you remember me from good old MacArthur High. God Bless all of you! Best Regards, Vanessa

That through understanding there is love.

My Condolences to the Family . I met him on a few occasions and i hope he is in peace now . The Same MonSterMS he had that so hastefully took his long fight i have myself. I consider him a part of me although the MonSter has not hit me as hard as it did him. You always have been in my thoughts, i wasnt aware of what you were even going thru when i first saw you until i grew up myself and got struck by the same. But this is not about me , its about you. May you rest in peace now brother and we shall meet one day. Godbless.. Ori B.

I just want to let you know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Having lost a brother six years ago to the day, my heart goes out to all of you, his family and pray that God is with you in this most difficult time. May the wonderful memories you have of Ralph live on forever in your hearts.

I met Ralph in 1994 at Madison Adult Day Care. We became friends almost immediately and my heart went out to him. I enjoyed his company and wit despite his condition. I will carry an empty spot in my heart, but find comfort in now knowing that he is not suffering anymore. He ment more to me than anyone will ever know.

Even though I cannot be there in person, there is no doubt that I am with you all in spirit. Between bouts of crying about what has happened, I also can't help but thinking about the good times we had and being so grateful that I ever got to know him. Ralph was a great person, and I still remember him as the guy who was great at sports and loved to dance. We sure had fun 'wheeling' around during the later years when I had a chance to come out and visit and go to the mall or just walk around the neighborhood, LOL - he sure was easy to please, and loved EVERYONE! We will always love him too.

my thoughts and prays are with the whole family. i wish i could be there but it is just not possible right now.i miss all of ya'll. i have had a lot of good memories the last few days just remembering the things we did. we love you very much.

Although we only met Ralph a few times, at the CFC with Anne and Bob Kemper, he will hold a very special place in our hearts always. He was a very special person, and we will remember him and his family in our prayers. Anne has endless stories she has told us about Ralph, and what a special individual he was. I know she will miss him greatly. He has gone to be an angel above, and can live pain free and move about to his hearts content now, and hopefully look after her and all the CFC, his family and friends. May you find peace in his eternal life with our Father above.
