    My dearest DeAnn, I am so very sorry about losing Ralph, but I know the angels must have been dancing with happiness in Heaven when one of their own came home. I hope that this Bible verse brings you some comfort. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that every one that believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." I cannot be there, but I am with you in Spirit and in my prayers. I love you very much, Carol Marie

    DeAnn, I was truly sorry to hear of Ralph's passing. It sounds as though you and he had a full and wonderful life together. I still remember how excited Ralph was when you started seeing each other at Northeast State. Ralph's grandfather Rowell was the preacher who married my parents, Johnie and Virginia (Tallent) Lester. Dad passed away just after Thanksgiving last year. They were together over 60 years! January 31 is the twelfth anniversary of my Jeremy's death (my son). Psalm 121 was my anthem during that time. I know that the Lord will care for you as He has cared for me. I couldn't imagine then making it through another day much less another year without him, but I have by God's grace. God bless you, dear. Love, Michele January 23, 2012
