Linda and sons, gonna miss my big brother. Loved all the dinners at your house for valentine's day. Will never forget my secret with big brother-your 50th B-Day surprise and how you saw me in the mirrors! Our last supper bowl party with Ralph. Enjoying the batter of love between the two of you. Girl what ya doing, me and Ralph just finishing our dinner at....in your neighborhood, etc. At first when you dragged Ralph over, he would just relax and sleep but as he became more relax, it was on! I would always love it how you would come over after church but Ralph would eat the left over dinner, bump the super bowel food. Fussing at both of you for eating sweets, you always stating you were eating a small portion of Ralph's cake. Beautiful love shown - 49 years, what a blessing. So bless to have known him. We always smile Linda when you told us that Ralph and my hubby could have poured the driveway! I feel that he found rest in the arms of Jesus. I know you and your sons are going to miss him, we are praying God's great mercy, healing and peace during these days to come. You know we are here in any way needed. Devin, Trell, we love you too! Jerome and Marie

Normally in times like this I wouldn't have a lot to say. But this is different for me because of who he was to me and to my family. The reason I have a lot to say is Ralph who is my godfather was hands down the longest running male figure alongside my father in my life to this day. He knew me before I knew me and not just knowing me but always around physically my ENTIRE life. My family and his family practically did everything together I have endless memories of him throughout my entire life. It is hard for me to think of a time in my memory that he wasn't in it some kind of way. I don't have one favorite memory of him because all my memories of him was great. But because of distance the last time i was at their house was back over the holidays. Which that time gave me a lasting hilarious moment that I will cherish for life. When I was over there it was time for them to eat but nothing was cooked. And they were deciding on what to eat. This conversation between them lasted probably about an hour straight or maybe a little more. Simply because it went from what they were going to eat to where are they getting food from to are they going to have it delivered or go get it depending on where they were getting it from. When everyone was saying what they wanted to eat the majority kind of wanted the same thing except one person. Then they start all over and think of another place to get food from and this time everyone kind of wanted something different. Then they would start all over and pick another place and that place over all wasn't a good choice by one person and at this time a was laughing so much because as soon as they get so close to getting something from somewhere something sets everything back to the beginning. So they finally ordered some pizza and everyone was satisfied. I shared that last memory to say this. Alrhough they might have had differences of what to eat no matter what it took they all ate the same thing as a family. Which is exactly what he was a family man. So to my Godfather Ralph I thank you for everything you have done for my family I love you and I will miss you. Had I have known that was going to be my last time seeing you I would have hugged you a little bit longer. And to my Godmother Linda and brothers Lyntrell and Delvin I love you all.
