Pastor Ralph,

We are very saddened to hear of your continued health struggles with CHF. Rick lost his dad to CHF; we remember how kind you were to him when he broke down in tears because of his dad's health right before a church service. Somehow you managed to sneak out during the service and comfort him; we were so grateful for that. We know it is a terrible disease and hope that your family and care givers are able to keep you comfortable.

We also remember how welcoming you were to us when we first moved to Woodbury. You never, ever made a mistake with our names; your gifts and memory for people were an amazing gift.

We will be thinking of you in the coming days and praying for your comfort and peace.

With Kindest Regards,
Nancy and Rick Nelson

Pastor Ralph , have been thinking of you and your family the last few days. Little did I know when you came to Trinity that you knew my sister and family from Augustana. Such a small world we live in. Having our paths cross was meant to be. You had a way to get people excited about church. Enjoyed working with you and rest of our fantastic committee getting the Fun Fest off the ground for Hammond Heartland Days. That was just one of many things we worked on together. Great memories. Feel so sad that your health is not good. Prayers for you and your family. Thanks for being a friend to all at Trinity and giving it your all. Blessings dear friend. 🙏🙏🙏
