 We would like to thank the doctors and nurses and heath care aides of the Red Deer Hospice for the respect, care and love they showed him.  Today we lost our protector and our rock.  Forever in our hearts. 

Ralph will be laid to rest with his father at a later date.  

 “Do not let your hearts be troubled.  You believe in God; believe also in me.  My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me, that you also may be where I am.”  John 14:1-3
