  1. I wanted to express my heartfelt condolences to all of Ralph’s family. Death is the hardest thing we have to deal with in life. I know my words can’t change anything and can do little to ease the pain you are feeling, so I pray that the God of comfort calm your hearts and help you heal. (2 Thessalonians 2:16,17) Lean on Him in the days to follow. One way that God comforts us today is by moving people who care about us to give us words of encouragement that we need to hear. For the Bible’s answers to questions about grief and death please visit JW.org.

  2. My prayers are with the family at this time of sorrow. I worked with Ralph in the mill. He will be missed by all who knew him.

  3. The Hodor Family , Jennifer Palmer and Phyllis Martin would like to extend their sympathies and support to the family of Ralph Jenkins. Mr. Jenkins lived next door to us. Mr. Jenkins I didn’t know very well, but he was always friendly and waved at you when he saw you. I could tell he was a kind man because he always had his grandchildren and children around him. You tell there was a lot of love there. I remember him with his little grandson with the long curly hair helping him in the garden one summer. It was so cute. I even saw him sitting on his grandpa’s knee. They always had fun and togetherness as far as I could see. They would always have the pool out in the summer and the kids from the neighborhood were always welcome. I wish I had gotten to know Mr. Jenkins more. Patty his wife was also very cordial and waved at me when she saw me. I am soo sorry for your loss and pray that your family find healing at this time. May God bless you and your family and if there is ever anything I can do just ask. May you find comfort in your memories of him.
