When we think of our friend, school and classmate, Ralphael, we think of the poem once taught in grade school: "There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths, Where highways never ran;
But let me live by the side of the road, And be a friend to man." That was Ralphael...he was that friend to all man. We are all better today because of the life and legacy of Aaron Ralphael Speed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. "Blessed are the dead in Christ..." -Sorrowfully submitted, Mary and Garnell Heggie
